India-Pakistan Tensions : "Don't Want to Talk, Want to Take Direct Action"; says Sharad Pawar

Pawar, a veteran political figure and chief of the NCP's Sharad Pawar faction, commented on the escalating conflict in the wake of recent drone attacks launched by Pakistan on various parts of India. While the Indian armed forces have been actively repelling these intrusions, the situation has prompted strong reactions from across the political spectrum.

In a brief yet significant remark, Pawar stated, "This is not the time for talk. It is a time for direct action." His comments suggest a firm stance on national security, emphasizing the need for concrete measures over discussions.

Sharad Pawar, who has held key portfolios including Agriculture and Defence at the Centre, is widely regarded as an influential leader both in Maharashtra and at the national level. Notably, he served as India's Defence Minister during Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao’s tenure, a period marked by complex strategic challenges.

As the country unites in response to the ongoing threat, leaders from both ruling and opposition parties have expressed solidarity with the government. Pawar's statement aligns with this collective front, while also hinting at a more assertive approach to dealing with Pakistan.
