Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday reiterated that “Operation Sindoor” has not yet ended and warned that any attack from across the borders – be it from Pakistan or terrorists
– on India will be dealt with severely.
“The Pakistan-backed terrorists wanted to erase the Sindoor of Indian women, but the Army has proved the strength of Sindoor,” Modi said amid thunderous applause from the people waving Indian flags, who
assembled at the Parade Ground of the district.
Modi pointed out that the Pak army always took help from the terrorists whenever they attacked India since the partition in 1947 but each and every time they “faced severe” replies from India.
“Not once but thrice India dealt with Pakistan severely by entering into their territory and if any attempt was made in future the reply will be the same,” Modi said while asserting that Operation Sindoor was not yet over.
“From this land of Bengal, I declare on behalf of 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is not yet over,” Modi said referring to India’s determined and resolute stand against all forms of terrorism.
“As I have come to the land of ‘Sindoor Khela’, (a Hindu custom where married women smear each other with vermillion) it is very obvious to talk about India’s new doctrine against terrorism. There was a lot of anger (among people) in West Bengal after what happened on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. I could understand the anger of the people here. The terrorists tried to wipe off the ‘Sindoor’ of our sisters, but our armed forces showed them the strength of ‘Sindoor’,” he said.
Modi said the world has witnessed in the early 70s how the Pakistan Army butchered, raped and murdered lakhs of Bangladeshis. He warned that any further attack on India would mean definite defeat of the attackers. UNI PC BD SSP RB
