Pakistan Condemns Rajnath Singh Over 'Borders Can Change' Remark on Sindh

The defence minister made the comment at a Sindhi community event in Delhi, invoking civilisational ties in a continuation of recent territorial rhetoric.

Overview

  • Rajnath Singh told a Sindhi Samaj gathering that "borders can change" and suggested Sindh could "return to India," citing L K Advani’s reflections on Partition.
  • Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal statement calling the remarks delusional and dangerously revisionist and alleging they violate international law and recognized borders.
  • Singh framed Sindh’s connection to India in cultural and religious terms, referencing the Indus River’s sanctity for Hindus and noting similar sentiments among some Muslims.
  • He also defended the Citizenship Amendment Act at the event, describing it as protection for persecuted minorities from neighboring countries.
  • The statement follows his recent comments predicting PoK’s eventual integration with India and warnings over Sir Creek, with no public retraction reported from the Indian side.
