SRINAGAR: Asserting that Bharat has sent a strong message against terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that proxy wars will no longer be tolerated. He termed Operation Sindoor as the biggest and most successful anti-terror operation in the country’s history.
Addressing the ‘Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Maha Sammelan’ in Bhopal, PM Modi, reiterated, “Bharat’s message is clear—proxy war by terrorists will not work.”
Referring to Indian tradition, Modi said, “Bharat is a land of culture and values. Sindoor is seen as a symbol of women’s power. Today, that same Sindoor has become a symbol of our valour and resistance to terrorism. If bullets are fired at us, they will be answered with cannon balls.”
Modi described Sindoor (vermillion) as a symbol of women’s power and added that it now also represents bravery.
Earlier this month, Indian armed forces conducted missile strikes on nine terror headquarters in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under “Operation Sindoor.” The strikes followed the killing of 26 civilians at Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam.
The Prime Minister said the Pahalgam attack was not only an act of violence but also an assault on India’s culture and an attempt to divide society. “They challenged the women power of India,” he said.
“This challenge has marked the end for terrorists and their handlers. Operation Sindoor is the biggest and most successful operation against terrorism in India’s history. While the Pakistan army could not even imagine such action, our forces destroyed the terrorist hideouts,” Modi said. (KNO)
