During his address, the Air Marshal reflected on the operation, highlighting how #OperationSindoor, a precision strike on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, showcased the evolving nature of warfare with the integration of advanced technologies, providing a clear direction for future defense strategies.
On Operation Sindoor, Air Chief Marshal Singh said “this war was won by a whole-of-nation approach”, and the same approach needs to continue while talking about empowering the defence forces.
“Actually, it is not just a whole-of-nation approach, we have to be in a whole-of-nation mission mode, if I can call it, to make sure that we accelerate and produce results,” he said, in an apparent reference to military modernisation.
“We were taking the path of truth, I think, God was with us also in this,” he said.
“I am sure, every Indian contributed towards this victory. Like it has been said again and again that this was an operation, which was executed in a very professional manner by everybody—all the agencies, all the forces, we all came together…and when truth is with you, then everything happens on its own,” he said.

In his first public comments following the four-day military clashes between India and Pakistan, the Air Chief Marshal said that “not a single project” has been completed on time.
In his remarks at the CII Business Summit, he, however, did not provide specific details of the projects or made a reference of the period since when delays have been impacting the Indian Air Force (IAF).
The Chief of Air Staff said the Operation Sindoor has given the Indian Armed Forces a “clear idea” of where “we are headed and what we need in the future.
Lauding the Armed Forces as well as all agencies concerned for the success of #OperationSindoor, Air Chief Marshal Singh said, “We were taking the path of truth, I think, God was with us also in this.” Under #OperationSindoor, the IAF played the leading role in destroying nine terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir early on May 7 under #OperationSindoor, in response to the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack.
All subsequent retaliations to Pakistani offensives were carried out under this operation.

In his address, the IAF chief lamented the delays in implementation of defence projects. The IAF has been upset over huge delays by the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd in the delivery of Tejas light combat jets.
“Timelines is a big issue; that is where the ‘vachan’ (commitment) part comes in. Once a timeline is given… not a single project that I can think of, has been completed on time,” he said.
“So, this is something where we have to look in, why should we promise something that cannot be achieved.
“While signing the contract itself, sometimes, we are sure that it is not going to come up. But, we just sign the contract and see what can be done after that.. obviously then the process gets vitiated,” he said.
“We have to now be ready to be future-ready. That is the concern,” Singh said.
Adding that while there could be more output from the Indian industry and the Defense Research and Development Organization in the next 10 years, what is required today is required today.
He said there should be some quick http://Make in India programmes to achieve the now-ready part of it, while Design in India can continue to produce results in the future.
Our focus as far as air power is concerned, we need to make sure that we have the capability and the capacity. We cannot just talk about producing in India, we need to start designing and developing in India,” he said.
Emphasizing the need to have trust and an open and forthright communication between the forces and the industry, Singh said the IAF is putting in the maximum possible effort as far as the Make in India programme is concerned.
He said earlier, the IAF was looking outward more, but the current situation had made them realize that Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) was the only solution.
“I believe that the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are our own, part of our family,” he said.
“We have full faith that those of our brothers who are geographically and politically separated from us today will also return to the mainstream of India someday, listening to their voice of soul,” he added.
Singh said most of the people in PoJK feel a “deep connection” with India, and only a few of them have been “misled”.
“India always talks about connecting hearts, and we believe that by walking on the path of love, unity and truth, the day is not far when our own part, PoJK, will return and say, I am India; I have returned,” he said.
In a clear message to Pakistan, Singh also said the business of terrorism is not cost-effective and it will come with a heavy price, as Islamabad has realized now.
Addressing the CII Business Summit, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoJK) are part of the Indian family and the day is not far when they will return to India’s mainstream voluntarily.

Laying out India’s policy approach towards Pakistan, Rajnath Singh said New Delhi has “redesigned and redefined” its strategy and response to terrorism and that possible dialogue with Islamabad will be only on terrorism and PoJK.
In an address at the CII Business Summit, the defense minister largely attempted to reach out to people of PoK, saying India considers them to be part of its “own” family.
