Enemy which begged for mercy must not be in illusion, Op Sindoor not over: PM Modi in Kanpur
Kanpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that India will respond with full force if any act of terrorism is carried out on its soil and also spotlighted three principles emerging as India's strategy in the fight against terror, after the Operation Sindoor. Addressing a large public gathering in Kanpur, PM Modi said, "I reiterate that the enemy who was pleading during the Operation Sindoor should not be under any illusion. It is not over yet." The Prime Minister added that after Operation Sindoor, India has clearly laid out three principles in its fight against terror. "India will give a befitting reply to every terrorist attack – the timing, method and terms of response will be decided by our forces. India will no longer be afraid and tolerate nuclear blackmailing by Pakistan. And, lastly, India will look at the master of terror and government that patronises terror -- with the same eye," he said. "Pakistan's design of state and non-state actor won't work anymore," the Prime Minister said, in a stern warning. PM Modi also spoke about Kanpur's son Shubham Dwivedi becoming a victim of barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam and how the entire nation was united in sharing the grief, pain and anger of his wife and nation's daughter Aishnya. PM Modi also said that the Operation Sindoor has shown the power of India's indigenous and Made in India weapons to the world. "Our Indian weapons and the Brahmos missile entered the enemy's territory and wreaked havoc. Blasts were carried out where the targets were decided. We have got this strength from the resolve of self-reliant India," he added. Earlier, the Prime Minister met the wife of slain businessman Shubham Dwivedi and told her that the entire nation was standing with her and family in such a difficult moment.

Any talks with Pakistan will only be on terror, return of POK: Rajnath SIngh
NEW DELHI: India has redesigned and redefined its strategy and response to terrorism emanating from Pakistan and if talks do take place with Islamabad in the future, they will only be on terrorism and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday in what appeared a repudiation of Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif's suggestion that the two countries should engage in comprehensive dialogue that covers all their disputes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now POK was an integral part of India and its people, who got geographically and politically separated, and would sooner or later voluntarily return to India "listening to the voice of their souls and self-respect", Singh said, addressing the annual CII business summit here. Echoing Singh, the external affairs ministry later in the day said any dialogue with Islamabad will have to be focused on the return of POK and also wanted terrorists to India. The ministry also said any engagement between the two countries would be strictly bilateral. "We want to reiterate that terrorism and dialogue cannot go hand in hand. And as far as the issue of terrorism is concerned, any discussion with Pakistan will focus on the list of terrorists we had provided them some years ago - they should hand them over to us," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. "Regarding J&K, any bilateral talks will only be about one thing - when will Pakistan vacate POK, which it has been holding illegally and unlawfully," he added. Singh earlier warned Pakistan that India could have inflicted much more damage between May 7 and 10 during Operation Sindoor, with 'Made in India' weapons having the power to "penetrate any armour of the enemy", but exercised restraint as a responsible country. Stressing that 'Make in India' was an essential component of national security, he said the country's home-grown weapons systems surprised the entire world by playing a key role in Operation Sindoor.
