Pakistan scared by Defense Minister’s warning

In recent times, tension has increased between India and Pakistan regarding Sir Creek area of ​​Gujarat. On the occasion of Dussehra, Rajnath reached Sir Creek and performed Shastra Puja and warned Pakistan to desist from any kind of nefarious activities in this area.

Rajnath had revealed that Pakistan has been keeping an eye on this area since the 1965 war. This is the reason why Pakistan is increasing its military deployment in its jurisdiction of Sir Creek. Rajnath had clearly said that if Pakistan made any mis-adventure in Sir Creek, then like the 1971 war, the history and geography of Pakistan would be completely changed.
