India, July 28 -- Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said the Indian armed forces were given full freedom to choose their targets and give a befitting reply to Pakistan under Operation Sindoor."The overall politico-military objective of Operation Sindoor was to punish Pakistan for waging a proxy war in the form of terrorism. That is why the armed forces were given complete freedom to choose their targets and give a strong response," Rajnath Singh told the Lok Sabha.
