Defence minister Rajnath Singh has said that India is ready to help Pakistan combat terror if the neighbouring country feels that it cannot do it alone.
In glimpses from an exclusive podcast shared by ANI on X, Rajnath warned that Pakistan will have to suffer the consequences of its actions in case it tries to destabilise India using terror as a tool.
The defence minister added that Pakistan must rein in terror emanating from its soil, adding that India is ready to offer its support if needed.
"If Pakistan is trying to destabilise India with the help of terrorism, then it will have to face the consequences. If Pakistan feels incapable [to curb terror], India is ready to cooperate to stop terrorism," Rajnath said.
Singh also added that Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir "was, is and will remain part of India".
During the interview, Rajnath also spoke about the period of Emergency during the Indira Gandhi era, recalling how he was not even given parole during his mother's demise.
"I was not given parole to attend my mother's last rites during the Emergency, and now they (Congress) call us dictators," Rajnath said, revealing the untold story of the 1975 Emergency.
