Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India] May 26 (ANI): Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said India is a proud nation that wants peace but is ready to fight battles to maintain it.

He also added that if any terrorist activity takes place, Pakistan's army and economy will suffer.

During the Tiranga rally, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said, 'We have sent a message to the whole world that India is a proud nation. We want peace, but we are ready to fight battles to maintain that peace...If there is any terrorist activity, then Pakistan's army and economy will suffer...'

BJP state president Madan Rathore added that the rally reflects the spirit of patriotism and praises India's rise as the world's fourth-largest economy.

'This is the enthusiasm for patriotism. The people, the army, and the old people are all together here...It is a matter of pride for us. Our leadership is trying to empower the people...We have become the 4th largest economy; soon we will become the 3rd largest economy,' Madan Rathore said.

Earlier on Sunday, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) also organised a 'Tiranga Yatra' in Trichy to honour the valour and bravery of the armed forces for Operation Sindoor.

The Tiranga Yatra drew widespread public attention, covering major roads and landmarks across Agartala. Residents lined the streets to cheer and wave flags, creating a vibrant and emotional atmosphere.

The yatra is part of a broader nationwide campaign to honour the armed forces and reaffirm national resolve in the wake of the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the ghastly April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, after which Pakistan resorted to shelling on civilian and military establishments here. (ANI)
