New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced a new, aggressive approach in India’s fight against terrorism, calling it ‘Operation Sindoor’. This comes after recent terror attacks, including the brutal incident in Pahalgam, where people were reportedly killed based on their religion. Calling it a personal pain, PM Modi said, “After that attack, the entire nation spoke in one voice.”
Modi revealed that on 6th and 7th May, Indian armed forces carried out precision strikes on terror camps inside Pakistan, shocking terrorist groups and their handlers. “They never imagined that Indian missiles and drones would hit them like this,” he said.
He named terror hubs like Bahawalpur and Muridke in Pakistan, calling them “global universities of terrorism” and claimed that many international attacks – from 9/11 in the US to the London Tube bombing– have connections to these places.
After the strikes, PM Modi said Pakistan retaliated by targeting Indian schools, colleges, religious places, and army posts. But he added confidently, “We destroyed many Pakistani assets in our counter-attacks.”
Modi said that instead of taking action against terrorists, Pakistan begged the international community for help. He revealed that by 10 May, Pakistan’s military leadership had reached out for talks, but by then, India’s mission to destroy terror infrastructure was already successful.
“This is our new normal – Operation Sindoor,” Modi declared. “Terror and talks can’t go together. Terror and trade can’t go together. Water and blood can’t flow together.”
He stressed that India will not tolerate terrorism and any future engagement with Pakistan will only focus on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
PM Modi concluded his speech by saluting the Indian armed forces, praising their courage, and assuring the nation that India will take strong and clear action to protect its people and sovereignty.
