New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi said terrorists in Pakistan brought their own doom by challenging the “nari shakti” of India, referring to the attack in Pahalgam where women watched as their husbands were being killed. “In Pahalgam, the terrorists didn’t just shed blood – they attacked our culture.
They tried to divide our society. The terrorists challenged the nari shakti of India, and this challenge turned into doom for the terrorists and their sponsors,” PM Modi said while taking part in the ‘Mahila Sashaktikaran Maha Sammelan’ in Bhopal on the 300th birth anniversary of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar.
All men, were shot dead in the scenic Baisaran meadow by Lashkar terrorists, who executed those identified as non-Muslims. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor – a name designed to show respect to those women who were widowed in the attack. India not only destroyed key terror camps deep inside Pakistan, but also targeted military bases before entering into a ceasefire deal.
The Prime Minister said India took Pakistan by surprise as its armed forces reduced terror bases to rubble. “The camps were destroyed by penetrating hundreds of kilometres into Pakistan. Operation Sindoor is the biggest and most successful operation in Indian history against terrorism,” he said.
PM Modi’s remark comes amid a war of words between the BJP and the Congress on who conducted the most cross-border surgical strikes. The Prime Minister also reiterated that both terrorists and their sponsors would have to pay a heavy price in the future if India was attacked again.
“Operation Sindoor has declared loud and clear that proxy war through terrorism will no longer be tolerated. Now, we will strike even inside their homes (ghar mein ghus ke marenge). Anyone who helps terrorists will pay a heavy price for it,” PM Modi declared.
