The minister’s statement reflects India’s resolve to pursue sustained diplomatic and military strategies that prioritize national security.
The Defence Minister’s remarks come after significant military tensions along the LAC, with both countries now aiming for de-escalation through dialogue. However, he stressed that India will not compromise on its territorial integrity, reinforcing a commitment to a comprehensive approach to border issues.

The government’s approach underscores a broader strategy to uphold peace, signaling to both citizens and the international community that India prioritizes sustainable stability at its borders.
