PM Narendra Modi issued a stern warning to Pakistan on Monday, May 12, declaring that India will no longer tolerate any form of nuclear blackmail and will respond decisively to any terrorist attacks on its soil.
Addressing the nation, PM Modi stated, “No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore… Any terrorist attack on India will receive a befitting reply – one that will be delivered on our terms. Operation Sindoor is now India’s new policy against terrorism, a new line has been drawn.”
His comments came in the wake of India’s bold military action under ‘Operation Sindoor,’ which targeted nine terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation, launched on the night of May 6–7, was a direct response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
“We have given full freedom to the Indian army to wipe out the terrorists and today every terrorist, every terror organisation knows ‘ki hamari behano, betiyon ke maathe se Sindoor hatane ka anjaam kya hota hai“. Indian armed forces attacked the terrorist sites in Pakistan. Terrorists wouldn’t have dreamed that India would take such big steps… When Indian missiles and drones attacked those sites in Pakistan, it was not just the buildings of the terrorists, but their courage was thrashed,” he added.
In a swift and coordinated operation, Indian forces eliminated over 100 terrorists across the targeted locations. Pakistan retaliated with attempted strikes on several Indian military installations on May 8, 9, and 10.
