Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that the 1971 India-Pakistan war proves that the partition of India along religious lines was a 'historic mistake'.
The minister made the statement at the inauguration of “Swarnim Vijay Parv” at India Gate in the national capital, marking 50 years of India’s victory in the 1971 war.

Singh added that India won the direct war against Pakistan in 1971 and it will also win the ongoing indirect war against Pakistan-induced terrorism.
Pakistan wants to break India by promoting terrorism and other anti-India activities, Rajnath Singh said.
