Karakat : The Indian forces have destroyed air bases in Pakistan within minutes during Operation Sindoor and this demonstrates the strength of a new India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday while addressing a rally in Bihar.
“Several airbases and terrorist hideouts in Pakistan were destroyed. This is the new India, and this is the strength of the new India,” he asserted in Bihar’s Karakat. Two days after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the Prime Minister vowed “punishment beyond imagination” for every terrorist involved in the killing of 26 innocent civilians.
“I came to Bihar two days after the Pahalgam incident and promised the country from the soil of Bihar that the terrorist hideouts would be razed to the ground. I had said they would be given punishment beyond imagination. Now that I have returned to Bihar, I have fulfilled my promise. Those who destroyed the sindoor of our sisters while sitting in Pakistan, our army has turned those terrorist hideouts into ruins. Pakistan and the world have witnessed the power of sindoor,” PM Modi added.
The Prime Minister further reaffirmed that Operation Sindoor is ongoing and will continue to strike against terrorism whenever it attempts to resurface. “The enemies have witnessed India’s strength in Operation Sindoor. They must understand that our quiver holds only one arrow: terrorism. The fight against terrorism has neither paused nor ended. If terrorism rises again, India will crush it once more,” he said.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, two weeks after Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. In response, the Pakistan Army launched a barrage of drones and missiles towards India, targeting several border cities. In retaliation, Indian forces struck back, inflicting significant damage on multiple Pakistani army airbases and causing casualties among their personnel.
