Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said New Delhi is willing to resolve conflicts through dialogue but warned against taking “unfair advantage” of its patience, Al Jazeera reports.

“We have always played the role of a responsible nation. We have always been in favour of resolving problems through dialogue,” Singh stated during his address, as reported by the Indian news agency ANI.

“But this does not mean that anyone should take unfair advantage of our patience. If anyone tries to take advantage of our patience, then they will have to be fully prepared to face ‘quality action’ just like yesterday.”
