Rajnath Singh issues fresh warning to Pakistan over Sir Creek; ‘if they attempt any mischief…’

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has accused Pakistan of stoking tensions in the Sir Creek area and warned of a “decisive response” to any misadventure, referencing India’s military advances during the 1965 war and signaling that “one route to Karachi passes through the creek.” Singh asserted that India vigilantly safeguards its border, citing Pakistani military infrastructure expansion near Sir Creek as further evidence of “unclear intentions.” The disputed estuary, which shapes key maritime boundaries and resource claims, has seen repeated diplomatic and military standoffs, with India calling for resolution through dialogue and Pakistan maintaining rival territorial claims.
