"Declaration of 140 crore Indians, Operation Sindoor has not ended yet": PM Modi in Bengal
Alipurduar (West Bengal) [India], May 30 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated that Operation Sindoor has not ended yet, noting that the country's enemy will have a huge cost to pay if there is any terror attack on India.
'We are the people who worship Shakti, Mahishasuramardini. From this land of Bengal, this is a declaration of 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is not over yet,' the Prime Minister said while addressing a rally in Alipurduar in West Bengal on Thursday.
PM said, 'After the Pahalgam attack, India has now told the world that if there is a terrorist attack on India now, the enemy will have to pay a heavy price for it. Pakistan should understand that we have entered their house and killed three times.'
Prime Minister Modi referred to the success of Operation Sindoor, in which precision strikes were conducted on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
'Now that I am standing on the sacred land of Sindoor Khela, it is only right that we speak about a new resolve against terrorism -- Operation Sindoor. On April 22, the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook the nation. The pain and anger felt across people of West Bengal were deeply understood. I could feel your outrage. The terrorists dared to wipe off the sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor. We destroyed that terror bases which Pakistan has never thought of,' the PM said.
Operation Sindoor was India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor led to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
PM Modi said Pakistan had resorted to terrorist action against India after partition in 1947 and that the terror it spread ahead of creation of Bangladesh and the rape and murders committed by its army there cannot be forgotten.
'Pakistan has been carrying out terrorist attacks on India ever since the Partition in 1947. After a few years, the terror it spread in our neighbourhood, present-day Bangladesh; no one can forget the way Pakistan Army committed rapes and murders in Bangladesh. Terrorism and genocide are the biggest expertise of the Pakistani Army. When a direct war is fought, then its defeat is certain, its defeat is certain. This is the reason why Pakistan Army takes the help of terrorists,' PM Modi said.
Bangladesh emerged as a separate country in 1971 after the War of Liberation against Pakistan.
Attacking further, PM Modi said, 'Pakistan, the country that nurtures terrorism, has nothing positive to offer to the world. Since its very inception, it has been a breeding ground for terror and violence.'
In his speech, PM Modi also launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee government and said West Bengal needs freedom from 'politics of violence, appeasement, riots and corruption' and that the people are looking towards 'BJP's development model'.
PM Modi took several jibes at the Trinamool Congress government, and said West Bengal is surrounded by many crises simultaneously.
'First is the crisis of violence and anarchy spreading in the society. Second is the unsafety of our mothers and sisters who are being subjected to heinous crimes. The third crisis is of the extreme despair and rampant unemployment spreading among the youth. The fourth crisis is of the continuously declining trust in the system. The fifth crisis is of the selfish politics of the ruling party, that steals the rights of the poor,' he said.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stone of City Gas Distribution project in Alipurduar and Cooch Behar districts in Alipurduar at West Bengal. (ANI)
