IAF's rapid deployment of assets in eastern Ladakh sent signal to adversary: Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Defence minister Rajnath Singh has complimented the Indian Air Force for its rapid deployment of assets at forward locations in response to the border row with China in eastern Ladakh , saying its Balakot strike and the current combat readiness have sent a strong message to “adversaries”.

In an address to the top commanders of the IAF on the opening day of a three-day conference, the defence minister said the nation’s resolve to defend its sovereignty stands firm and that the people of the country have full confidence in the capability of its armed forces.

Singh also talked about the “professional manner” in which the IAF conducted the air strikes deep inside Pakistan’s Balakot last year and appreciated the force for its proactive response in bolstering its operational capabilities over the past few months.
