'Pak Doesn't Sleep When It Hears Brahmos Missile': PM Modi Praises Op Sindoor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the world saw the capabilities of India's indigenous weapons during Operation Sindoor, which was launched on May 7 to strike multiple terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. Addressing a public rally in his parliamentary constituency, Varanasi, PM Modi said India's air defence systems, missiles, and drones proved the strength of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India). "The Brahmos missiles have instilled fear in the enemies of India," he said in Hindi. "Pakistan does not sleep when it hears the sound of a Brahmos missile," he added. आज अपने संसदीय क्षेत्र वाराणसी से पीएम-किसान सम्मान निधि की राशि जारी कर और काशीवासियों के लिए विभिन्न विकास कार्यों का उद्घाटन व शिलान्यास कर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता हो रही है। — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) August 2, 2025 Referring to the newly inaugurated integration and testing facility of BrahMos Aerospace in Lucknow, the Prime Minister said that he is happy that missiles will now be manufactured in Uttar Pradesh. He said the missiles made in Uttar Pradesh will now destroy the terrorists if Pakistan "commits any sin again". PM Modi also slammed the Opposition parties, Congress and the Samajwadi Party, for calling Operation Sindoor a "tamasha" (drama). "Everyone understands that Pakistan is upset. But Congress and the Samajwadi Party cannot handle the pain that Pakistan is going through. Pakistan is crying, and here, Congress and SP are crying, seeing the condition of terrorists," he said. PM Modi said that Congress was "constantly insulting the valour of our forces". "Samajwadi Party leaders were questioning why the Pahalgam terrorists were killed on this particular day? Should I call and ask them before taking any action?" he said, referring to Operation Mahadev, in which three of the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack were gunned down by security forces this week. PM Modi said his promise to avenge the Pahalgam attack, in which 26 civilians were killed, through Operation Sindoor was fulfilled with the blessings of Lord Shiva. "My heart was filled with sorrow for the 26 people who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack," he said. He said that the "unity of 140 crore countrymen" became the "strength of Operation Sindoor".

India Won't Spare Anyone Who Attacks The Nation, Even In Pataal Lok: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday delivered a stern message to Pakistan, declaring that India will not spare anyone who dares to attack the nation, even if they are hiding in the depths of "Pataal Lok." Addressing a public rally in his parliamentary constituency, Varanasi, the Prime Minister Modi said "When there is injustice and terror in front, Mahadev adorns his 'Rudra roop'. The world saw this face of India during Operation Sindoor. Anyone who messes with India will not be spared even in 'pataal lok'. Unfortunately, some people do not like the success of Operation Sindoor." Targeting the Opposition for questioning the success of 'Operation Sindoor', Prime Minister Modi said that some people in our own country are unable to digest its success. "Some people in our own country are not able to digest the success of 'Operation Sindoor'. The Congress and its ecosystem are upset that India destroyed Pakistan's terror camps. I ask you -- are you proud of Operation Sindoor? Did you see how our missiles and drones dismantled the terror bases with precision? Pakistan's airbases are still in the ICU," PM Modi said.
