Backing Rajnath Singh: National Security Demands No Talks Until PoK Status Changes

Defence experts and security analysts largely support Rajnath Singh's firm stance, arguing that decades of dialogue have failed to stop Pakistan's use of terrorism as a policy tool. By insisting on discussing PoK, India puts the core territorial dispute front and center. 'Op Sindoor,' a recent military exercise, demonstrates India's readiness to defend its borders without relying on diplomacy. Those backing the minister say that any negotiation without addressing terrorism and PoK simply rewards Pakistani aggression. For communities in Jammu and Kashmir and along the border, the message is clear: national security comes first, and talks must be conditional. This approach also provides a strong bargaining chip, reinforcing India's sovereign position internationally.
