'India Achieved Target...Pakistan Now Knows': PM Modi Shuts Down Opposition Over Op Sindoor Criticism
PM Narendra Modi said with 'Operation Sindoor', India achieved its target and that was to show any future aggressors that it can go to any extent Responding to opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the 'new normal", Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said terror masterminds now know that India will attack and Pakistan has realised that its neighbour's response will be tougher than before. Modi said with 'Operation Sindoor', India achieved its target and that was to show any future aggressors that it can go to any extent. His comments came as Gandhi, who spoke before him during the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, accused the central government of lacking political will to support the Indian armed forces. 'Pakistan now knows that India's response is tougher than before. It realises that in future, India can go to any extent. The situation has changed now. Masterminds of terror know India will come and attack," Modi said during the debate on 'Operation Sindoor', which was a military retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives on April 22. 'Terrorist bases were destroyed in Pakistan…we achieved what we decided. Some people are interested in wilful amnesia, but India does not forget. We remember from Day 1, it was clear that our target is terrorists and their infrastructure and we did it," he said, adding that India achieved its target '100 percent". He said the military gave a decisive response when Pakistan chose to brazenly back terrorists. 'We ensured that both Pakistan's army and we clearly understood each other's intentions. We, therefore, communicated our objective to them," he added.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that no country in the world has stopped India from taking action in its defence against terrorism, but lamented that while the nation got support from the entire world, the Congress could not stand behind the valour of the country's soldiers. Responding to the two-day debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, the prime minister said Pakistani airbases hit by India 'are still in ICU" and the masterminds of the April 22 terror attack are still having sleepless nights. 'No country in the world has stopped India from any action in its defence against terrorism. Only three countries spoke in favour of Pakistan at the UN. 'India got support from the entire world, but it is unfortunate that the Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers. Congress leaders targeted me for political gains but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers," he said. The prime minister noted that India called out Pakistan's nuclear bluff and showed the world that 'we will not bow down to nuclear blackmail". 'Our operations range from Sindoor to Sindhu (Indus Waters Treaty)… Pakistan knows they have to pay a huge price for any misadventure. Terror attacks were launched earlier and the masterminds of attacks knew nothing would happen, but now they know India will come for them." PM Modi said drones and missiles made in India exposed the capabilities of Pakistani arms and ammunition during the military operation. 'The world saw the strength of self-reliant India during Operation Sindoor. We destroyed terror sites deep inside Pakistan within 22 minutes to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam attack," he said. Modi noted that Pakistan had some inkling of Indian action and had started issuing nuclear threats, but could do nothing when terror targets were hit. 'It (Pahalgam attack) was a conspiracy to instigate riots in India and the country's unity foiled that attempt. When I speak of this Parliament session being a Vijayotsav (celebration of victory), it is of destroying the headquarters of terror," he said. 'I stand here to make a case for India, and to show a mirror to those who do not understand this. I had said that we will teach the terrorists and their masters a befitting lesson which will be beyond their imagination. 'We have complete trust in the capabilities of our armed forces and they were given a free hand to respond. The armed forces taught them such a lesson that the masters of terrorism are still losing their sleep over it," he added. PTI SKU GJS NAB GJS RT RT .

Operation Sindoor proved nuclear blackmail won't work anymore: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that Operation Sindoor, India's counter-response to the Pahalgam terror attack, sent a clear message to the world that nuclear blackmailing no longer holds sway over India. Speaking during a special session of the Lok Sabha, PM Modi hailed the armed forces and took aim at those questioning the government's security strategy. 'Operation Sindoor showed the world that nuclear blackmailing won't work anymore,' said PM Modi, addressing the House in a high-stakes debate on national security. He further asserted that the Indian Army had been granted complete operational freedom. 'The Army was given a free hand on how, where, and when to punish terrorists; we are proud of our armed forces,' he said. 'Vijayotsav' of India's resolve Calling the Parliament session a "vijayotsav" — a celebration of victory — the Prime Minister underscored the scale and success of India's offensive. 'I had said that we will teach the terrorists and their masters a befitting lesson which will be beyond their imagination,' he added. 'The armed forces taught them such a lesson that the masters of terrorism are still losing their sleep over it.' PM Modi said Indian forces carried out the operation deep inside Pakistan within 22 minutes. 'We destroyed terror sites deep inside Pakistan within 22 minutes to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam attack,' he told the House. 'For Operation Sindoor, India had decided to attack the epicentre of terror that had supported the Pahalgam terrorists.' Pak air bases still in ICU: PM Modi PM Modi claimed that Pakistan, sensing retaliation, began issuing nuclear threats but was caught off guard. 'Pakistan had some inkling of Indian action; started issuing nuclear threats, but could do nothing when terror targets were hit,' he said. 'India called out Pakistan's nuclear bluff; showed to the world that we will not bow down to nuclear blackmail.' 'Pakistani air bases hit by India are still in ICU,' he added. 'Indian forces showed Pakistan that they had destroyed terror sites within minutes; we made our capabilities clear to them.' India acts on its own terms: PM Modi The Prime Minister said that India no longer differentiates between terrorists and state actors sheltering them. 'We now respond on our own terms; do not differentiate between masterminds of terror and state actors.' 'Our operations range from Sindoor to Sindhu (Indus); Pakistan knows they have to pay a huge price for any misadventure.' 'No country in the world has stopped India from any action in its defence against terror... Only three countries spoke in favour of Pakistan at the UN.' Army was given a free hand: PM Modi He credited India's indigenous defence capabilities for the success. 'The world saw the strength of self-reliant India during Operation Sindoor... Drones and missiles made in India exposed the capabilities of Pakistani arms and ammunition.' World supported, Congress didn't: PM Modi The Prime Minister also took aim at the Opposition, particularly the Congress party. 'India got support from the entire world, but it is unfortunate that Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers.' 'Congress leaders targeted me for political gains, but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers... Opposition can get headlines in the media with their attacks on me, but this cannot earn them a place in the hearts of the people of the country.' He added, 'Terror attacks were launched earlier; masterminds of attacks knew nothing would happen, but now they know India will come for them.' The Prime Minister also revealed that global leaders reached out to him during the tense days following the Pahalgam attack. 'On May 7, Indian armed forces stated publicly that they have struck terror sites inside Pakistan... When Pakistan came out in support of terrorists, India's missiles, drones caused unimaginable loss; forced Pakistan to its knees. After suffering huge losses, Pak DGMO came pleading, 'Don't hit us anymore, we can't suffer any longer.'' He added, 'No leader of any country asked India to stop the operation... On May 9 night, the US Vice President tried to reach out to me 3–4 times, but I was busy with meetings with the armed forces... When I returned the call, the US Vice President warned me of a big attack from Pakistan.' India won't step back: PM Modi PM Modi concluded by affirming his government's determination to defend India at any cost. 'I am indebted to the people of the country for showing trust in me during Operation Sindoor.' 'I stand here to present India's side before this House. Those who don't see India's side, I stand here to show them a mirror.' The Lok Sabha debate underscored not only the scale of India's military response but also the deepening political fault lines over national security.
