Pakistani youth using their energy to fuel terrorism: Rajnath Singh​

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says Indian youth create global tech, while some Pakistani youth fuel terrorism. He also praised PM Modi's economic leadership.

"When India's youth channel their energy correctly, they create technology that makes the world better. On the other hand, some Pakistani youth are using this same energy to fuel terrorism. - Rajnath Singh"

Noida, April 10

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday targeted Pakistan, saying that some of the youth in that country are using their energy to fuel terrorism.​

Speaking at the Convocation ceremony of Noida International University in Noida, the Defence Minister said, "When India's youth channel their energy correctly, they create technology that makes the world better. On the other hand, some Pakistani youth are using this same energy to fuel terrorism."​

He said youth are indeed an inexhaustible reservoir of energy. "This very energy forms the foundation of creation and development, and if it goes astray, it can also become the cause of destruction," he said.​

India's rich cultural heritage plays a crucial role in guiding our youth in the right direction, he said.​

The Defence Minister called upon the youth to achieve their dreams through dedication.​

"Your circumstances, struggles, and dreams are what make you unique. Therefore, recognise your abilities and strengths, and then move forward with complete dedication," he said.​

"See the beauty of the world, pursue your dreams, and enjoy life, but never forget your duties and responsibilities. This balance is the key to true happiness and success," he said.​

The Defence Minister also hailed the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking the nation's economy forward.​

In a post on X, he said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi, India has become the world's third-largest startup ecosystem. India's semiconductor sector is now taking off rapidly, and the country's bio-economy has grown more than 16-fold over the past 11 years."​

In a separate development, the Defence Minister expressed grief at the passing away of Maha Vir Chakra awardee Colonel Sonam Wangchuk (Retd), a brave heart of the 1999 Kargil war.​

In a post on X, Rajnath Singh Mantri paid a glowing tribute to Colonel Wangchuk, describing him as a highly decorated officer of the Indian Army, renowned for his gallantry, resolute leadership, and unwavering commitment to duty.​

"A proud son of Ladakh, he exemplified the spirit of the region - resilient, steadfast and deeply rooted in service to the nation, while standing as a symbol of India's unity in diversity," he said.​

"His courageous actions of leading by personal example during Operation Vijay inspired his men under the most demanding conditions at high altitude. His life remains a testament to courage, sacrifice, and national integration, and his legacy will continue to inspire coming generations," said Rajnath Singh.​

It's sad to see youth energy wasted. Education and opportunity are so important. Glad our government is focusing on creating an ecosystem for innovation. The tribute to Col. Wangchuk was touching – real heroes inspire the right path.

Truth spoken. We have seen the results of this misguided energy in Pulwama, 26/11... the list is long. Our armed forces are always vigilant. Salute to the bravery of Colonel Sonam Wangchuk. His sacrifice will never be forgotten.

While I understand the sentiment, I think we must be careful about generalizing about an entire nation's youth. There are surely many in Pakistan who also want peace and progress. Our focus should remain on our own development and security.

The message to our youth is perfect – dream big but remember your duties. That balance is what our culture teaches. On the economic front, becoming the 3rd largest startup hub is phenomenal! The future is bright for India.

It's a geopolitical reality we have to live with. Our leaders are right to point it out, but our real strength is in silently building our nation. Every Indian doing their job well is a bullet against terrorism. Om Shanti for the brave colonel.
