NEW DELHI: 'The world saw India's strength (duniya ne humari takat dekhhi),' PM Narendra Modi said as he addressed the Union Council of Ministers on Wednesday about Operation Sindoor 's success. 'The PM said it took us only 25 minutes to demolish the terror infrastructure Pakistan built over decades as part of its policy to use terrorism to hurt India,' a source said referring to the precision strikes on the intervening night of May 6 and 7 to destroy the headquarters and important facilities of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen. Modi said the conflict with Pakistan also showed the changed nature of war. 'There was no movement of tanks, artillery and soldiers, and our armed forces acquitted themselves well in this new kind of warfare,' the source quoted the PM as saying. The conflict figured only briefly during the interaction that lasted almost four hours and saw the PM urging ministers and top bureaucrats to stop comparing the works done in the past 11 years with that of the UPA. 'He pitched for bigger aims and the need to fulfil them, said every product and infrastructure project must meet global standards and that we should set our new goals and achieve saturation,' an official said. Officials said the PM also asked ministers to visit aspirational blocks and spend at least 24 hours.
