In Bhopal, Modi says India won't tolerate proxy wars — ‘If you fire a bullet, expect shells in response'
Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday said 'Operation Sindoor' had made one thing clear — India would not tolerate proxy wars. 'Now, every citizen of India is saying it. The powerful voice of 140 crore Indians is saying: If you fire a bullet, expect a response with shells,' Modi said Saturday. The prime minister, who was in Bhopal to mark the 300th birth anniversary year of famed 18th-century queen and regional icon Ahilyabai Holkar, was speaking in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor' – India's strikes within terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan in retaliation of the terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, in which 26 people, including one Nepal citizen, were shot dead on April 22. Saturday's event in Bhopal was steeped in heavy symbolism as over 15,000 women were dressed in bright vermillion-coloured sarees, which stood out as a sea of red as the prime minister spoke about 'Operation Sindoor' and the role women played in avenging the Pahalgam terror attacks. The event also marked the launch of the much-awaited Indore metro, which began its services on Saturday. Modi also inaugurated the Datia and Satna airports. The BJP government is empowering women and daughters at every level and in every field, he said. 'Friends, India is a country of culture and values. In our tradition, the sindoor (vermillion) is a symbol of woman power. Even Hanuman ji, immersed in devotion to Lord Ram, is depicted wearing sindoor. And today, this sindoor has become a symbol of India's valour,' Modi said. He further said: 'In Pahalgam, terrorists not only shed the blood of Indians — they attacked our culture. They tried to divide our society. But most of all, the terrorists challenged the women power of India'. 'Yah chunauti aatankwadiyon aur unke akao ke liye kaal ban gai hai. Operation Sindoor aatankwadiyon ke khilaf Bharat ke itihaas ka sabse bada aur safal operation hai. Jahan Pakistan ki sena ne socha tak nahin tha vahan aatanki thikanon ko hamari sena ne mitti mein mila diya. (That challenge has now turned into their doom. 'Operation Sindoor' is the largest and most successful operation in India's history. Our army destroyed terrorist hideouts in areas where even Pakistan's army couldn't dare to think),' he said. The Indian forces 'penetrated hundreds of kilometres and wiped them out', he said. ''Operation Sindoor' has declared loudly that proxy wars through terrorism will no longer be tolerated. We will enter their homes and eliminate them. And anyone who supports terrorists will have to pay a heavy price,' Modi said. 'Operation Sindoor' has also become a symbol of the strength of our women power, he said. 'We all know how significant the role of our BSF daughters was in this operation. From Jammu to the borders of Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, a large number of BSF women stood guard. They responded fiercely to cross-border firing…The first batch of women cadets has graduated from the NDA. Today, daughters are being deployed on frontlines in the Army, Navy, and Air Force…Whether it's operations against Naxalites or terrorism across the border, our daughters are becoming the shield of India's security. Today, from the sacred land of Devi Ahilya ji, I once again salute the women power of this nation,' he said.

— rssurjewala (@rssurjewala) Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The Congress on Saturday demanded answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on why he chose "trade" over the nation, after a top US administration official told a US Court that a trade deal was offered to broker the India-Pakistan a post on X, Randeep Surjewala said that while Trump has claimed 11 times that he "brokered the ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, Modi negated it not even documentary evidence in the form of an affidavit is also available, he evidence was an affidavit US Secretary of Commerce Howard W Lutnick filed in the US Court of International Trade."...This ceasefire was only achieved after President Trump interceded and offered both nations trading access with the United States to avert a full-scale war."An adverse ruling that constrains presidential power in this case could lead India and Pakistan to question the validity of President Trump's offer, threatening the security of an entire region and the lives of millions," a part of the affidavit read, Surjewala termed the excerpt an "official proof" of Trump's claims, and asked a series of questions to the prime minister."Modi ji and BJP-NDA government must answer the following questions. Why did we permit U.S to broker a 'ceasefire Agreement', when our Armed Forces had a clear upper hand and Pakistan was cracking up? What is the 'trade deal' that U.S President offered and Modi Ji accepted?"Is 'trade' more important than Nation? What are the terms of ceasefire? Where are the terrorists who killed 26 innocent people in Pahalgam? Will Pakistan hand them over to us so that we can hang them? Was it part of the ceasefire agreement?" the Congress leader asked."Will Pakistan hand over Pahalgam terror attack 'mastermind' and Laskar-e-Taiba Commander and terrorist, Saifullah Kasuri, who attended an anti-India Rally in Lahore on 29th May, 2025," he also asked whether, as part of the ceasefire, Pakistan has agreed to proscribe or ban all anti-India terrorist he named several outfits: Jaish-e- Muhammad (JeM), Jamaat-ul-Dawa (JuD), Tehreek-e-Azadi Jammu & Kashmir (TAJK), Hizb-ul-Muzahideen (HM), Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuA, presently known as HuM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jammu & Kashmir National Liberation Army, Kashmir Jehad Force, Al Jehad Force, Jammu & Kashmir Students Liberation Front, and Congress leader also asked, now that there is supposedly a truce, whether Pakistan would shut down terror camps, hand over Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, and Dawood Ibrahim to India."All patriots, all true nationalists, and the entire nation demand these answers," he to para 18 of Lutnick's affidavit, Trump brokered peace between India and Pakistan to avoid a full-scale war between the two nuclear nations."For example, India and Pakistan - two nuclear powers engaged in combat operations just 13 days ago - reached a tenuous ceasefire on May 10, 2025. This ceasefire was only achieved after President Trump interceded and offered both nations trading access with the United States to avert a full-scale war. An adverse ruling that constrains presidential power in this case could lead India and Pakistan to question the validity of President Trump's offer, threatening the security of an entire region and the lives of millions," it read.

Don't use religion to identify illegal migrants: CPI(M)
The government should deal with those who have entered the country illegally according to the well-laid-out procedures, the CPI(M) Polit Bureau said in a statement on Saturday (May 31, 2025) in New Delhi. The party said that in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the BJP-led State governments and the Central government are targeting particularly Bengali-speaking Muslims and have, without any verification, pushed them to Bangladesh. According to reports, it said, some genuine Indian citizens, too, were arrested and sent to Bangladesh. In some cases, even those whose appeals were still pending before the Assam High Court and the Supreme Court were forcibly pushed back. 'This should not be allowed,' CPI(M) said. Calling the decision to 'push back' the 'suspected Bangladeshi citizens' as 'inhuman', the CPI(M) urged the government not to use religion to identify illegal migrants. 'Those who have entered the country through illegal means should be allowed access to a fair trial. Poor and undocumented migrants, who enter the country without any mala fide intentions, should be treated with dignity and dealt with according to the laid out procedures,' the Polit Bureau statement said. The party also flagged the BJP-led Assam government's recently approved policy to give arms licences to 'indigenous people living in vulnerable and remote areas.' 'This is a dangerous decision with far-reaching ramifications. It is the duty of the government to maintain law and order and also prevent infiltration. Pushing them back and arming communally selected sections of the people are not the solutions,' the CPI (M) Polit Bureau said in its statement.
