PM Modi Recalls Phone Call With JD Vance Before India's Massive Response: 'Goli Ka Jawab Gole'

Last Updated: PM says India stood firm despite nuclear threats from Pakistan during Op Sindoor and said he told US VP Vance that any Pakistani misadventure would be met with deadly force. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday revealed that US Vice President JD Vance had tried reaching him on the night of May 9, shortly after India launched retaliatory strikes under Operation Sindoor to avenge Pahalgam attack. PM Modi said he was in a meeting with military officials at the time, and returned the call later. 'When I spoke to the US Vice President, he warned me that Pakistan may be preparing for a major attack," Modi said in the Lok Sabha. 'I told him clearly: If that's their plan, they will pay dearly. Goli ka jawab gole se diya jayega". PM Modi also dismissed claims that India had come under pressure to halt Operation Sindoor. 'No global leader told us to stop," he said. 'The operation is still on, and India's forces are acting with full confidence. Pakistan's nuclear threats don't work anymore".
