Defense Minister Rajnath Singh performed arms worship at Bhuj military base on the occasion of Vijayadashami on Thursday. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and Southern Army Commander Lt Gen Dheeraj Seth were also present on the occasion. The L-70 Air Defense (ED) cannon, which played an important role in Operation Sindoor, was also specially met to the Defense Minister during the ceremony.
During Operation Sindoor, the L-70 air defense cannon demonstrated extraordinary effectiveness. The cannon, which could fire 300 rounds per minute and penetrate the targets up to 3,500 meters away, played an important role in killing Pakistani drones.

Referring to the success of Operation Sindoor, Rajnath Singh said, “Whether it is terrorism or any other kind of problem, today we have the ability to deal with it and defeat it. During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan had tried unsuccessfully to break into India’s defense system from Leh to Sir Creek. Wherever you want and as they want, you can cause heavy losses to Pakistan. “
Defense Minister Bhuj was addressing soldiers before arms worship at the military base. He also said that, “When we worship a weapon, we also resolve to use that power only to protect religion and justice. Lord Rama introduced this resolve in his life. When he fought against Ravana, that war was not only a means of victory, but a means of establishing religion.”

The Defense Minister said, “Even when the war of Mahabharata was fought under the guidance of Lord Krishna, his aim was not to ensure the victory of the Pandavas, but to establish religion. Arms worship symbolizes that India not only worships weapons, but also knows how to use them when the time comes.”
