ANI quoted his saying, "Together will uproot this proxy and hybrid warfare, as the Defence Minister I would like to reiterate this resolve...We are going ahead by following Lord Ram where he resolved to finish demonic powers."
He added that while "Lord Ram raised his arms and resolved to make this world demon-free, similarly, following the principles of Lord Ram, we have resolved to uproot terrorism."
He added that Pakistan will spend a large portion of the funds received from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on "terror infrastructure in its country," urging that IMF re-think funding to Pakistan, as per ANI.

"Operation Sindoor is not over yet. Whatever happened was just a trailer. When the right time comes, we will show the full picture to the world."
Singh mentioned that Indian Air Force assumed an impactful role in Operation Sindoor and it is being appreciated not only in India but across the world.
"On behalf of a grateful nation, I extend my gratitude to you once again."
He also thanked Air Chief Marshal AP Singh for his efforts, his entire team and all his jawans. "In this Operation, you not only dominated the enemies but also successfully decimated them," ANI reported.
Talking about the BrahMos missile - a joint venture between India and Russia - he said that "made in India BrahMos missile showed 'raat ke andhere mein din ka ujala' (showed light of day in the dark of the night) to Pakistan."
Yesterday, Singh stated that Pakistan's nuclear weapons should be taken under monitoring of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"I want to raise question before whole world: are nuclear weapons safe in hands of Pakistan, a rogue and irresponsible nation," ANI quoted him saying.
