Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reiterated India's stance against terrorism once again and that Operation Sindoor is not over yet, and any terror attack against the country will be met with a karara jawab (decisive action).
Addressing a public meeting in UP's Kanpur, PM Modi said India is not afraid of any nuclear bluff and that Pakistan pleaded to us for a ceasefire after its military establishment were left devastated in retaliatory strikes from the Indian Armed Forces.
Watch:
Here are the top quotes from PM Modi's address in Kanpur:
- With Operation Sindoor, the world has also seen the power of India's indigenous weapons and Make in India. Our Indian weapons and the Brahmos missile have entered the enemy's territory and wreaked havoc. Blasts were carried out where the targets were decided.
-
This program of development was to be held on 24 April in Kanpur. But due to the Pahalgam attack I had to cancel my Kanpur tour.
-
Our Kanpur's son Shubham Dwivedi also became a victim of brutality in the cowardly attack in Pahalgam. We can all feel the pain, suffering and inner anger of daughter Eshanaya.
-
Pakistan's game of State and non-state actors is not going to work anymore. If I say in plain Kanpuriya that wherever the enemy is, he will be chased away.
-
I would like to reiterate that the enemy who was pleading during Operation Sindoor should not be under any illusion. Operation Sindoor is not over yet.
-
The whole world has seen the same Operation Sindoor against our sisters and daughters.
-
We destroyed the hideouts of terrorists in Pakistan by entering their homes and going hundreds of miles inside.
-
The infrastructure, the facilities, the resources that are available in big metro cities... all of them are now visible in our Kanpur as well.
-
Kanpur Metro is a proof of how sincere efforts can be made for the development of the country and the state if there is a government with the right intentions, strong will and good intentions.
PM Modi's Kanpuriya style warning to Pakistan
PM Modi also chose to speak in the local Kanpuriya dialect as he issued a stern warning to Pakistan, stating, "Dushman kahin bhi ho haunk diya jayega," meaning "No matter where it is, the enemy will be thrashed."
He praised the Indian Armed Forces for the successful execution of Operation Sindoor and highlighted that Pakistan was compelled to plead for a halt to the conflict. The Prime Minister also emphasised that Operation Sindoor is still ongoing.
