'Op Sindoor' not over yet: Modi
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said 'Operation Sindoor' was far from over and warned that India would continue to exact a heavy price on those who sponsor terrorism, asserting that Pakistan has already been hit "three times inside its home." Addressing a rally in West Bengal since the launch of 'Operation Sindoor' earlier this month, the PM invoked the region's deep cultural and emotional connection with 'sindoor'. To reinforce India's hardened stance against terrorism, he referred to the traditional ritual of 'Sindoor Khela' observed by Bengali women during Durga Puja. "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'," Modi said to loud cheers. He added, "On April 22, the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook the nation. The pain and anger felt across West Bengal were deeply understood. I could feel your outrage. The terrorists dared to wipe off 'sindoor' from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor'." "From this land of Bengal, I, on behalf of 140 crore Indians, declare that 'Operation Sindoor' is not over yet," Modi said. "There was a lot of anger in West Bengal, too, after the barbarity committed by terrorists in Pahalgam. I understood very well the anger and rage that was within you. The terrorists dared to wipe away the 'sindoor' of our sisters. Our army made them realise the power of 'sindoor'," he reiterated. 'Operation Sindoor' was launched by India on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The operation involved precision strikes on terror infrastructure across the border in Pakistan. Asserting India's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism, Modi said, "After the Pahalgam attack, India has told the world that if there is a terrorist attack on India, the enemy will have to pay a heavy price for it. Pakistan should understand that we have entered your house and killed you three times." While the PM did not spell out the details of the three instances, his remarks are being widely interpreted as a reference to the 2016 surgical strikes following the Uri terror attack, the 2019 Balakot air strikes after the Pulwama bombing, and the recent cross-border strikes as part of 'Operation Sindoor'. "We destroyed cross-border terror infrastructure, which Pakistan had never thought of. We have hit Pakistan thrice inside their homes," he said. In a direct rebuke to Islamabad's military establishment, the PM accused Pakistan of institutionalising terrorism. "Terrorism and mass murder are the biggest expertise of the Pakistani army, because whenever there is an open war, they face defeat," he added.

Pakistan only a cradle of terrorism, has nothing good to offer: Modi
Observing that Operation Sindoor was far from over, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday (May 29, 2025) that Pakistan has nothing positive to offer to the world, and since its creation, the country has only 'nurtured terrorism.' 'We destroyed their terror hideouts; which Pakistan could not have imagined ever being possible,' the Prime Minister said while addressing a public meeting at Alipurduar in West Bengal. Mr. Modi said that soon after the partition of the country in 1947, Pakistan launched terror strikes against India. The Prime Minister also touched on the Bangladesh War of Liberation in 1971 and said that nobody can forget the Pakistani Army's campaign of rape and murder in Bangladesh. 'Terror and genocide are the biggest expertise of the Pakistani Army. The Pakistani Army knows defeat is certain if there is a full blown war; that is why they take the support of terrorists,' the Prime Minister said. Anger among the people Mr. Modi said that there was immense anger in the country and also among the people of West Bengal over the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. The Prime Minister asserted that Pakistan has already been hit 'three times inside its home.' 'After the Pahalgam attack, India has told the world that if there is a terrorist attack on India, the enemy will have to pay a heavy price for it. Pakistan should understand that we have entered their house and hit them three times,' he said. The Prime Minister also invoked the symbolism of Sindoor Khela, a cultural practice in West Bengal. He said that he was speaking from the 'sacred land of Sindoor Khela. The terrorists dared to wipe the sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor.' Mr. Modi said that the country worships 'Shakti and Mahisasurmardini (Goddess Durga)' and added that from 'the land of the Bengal tiger, this is a declaration by 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is far from over.'

India punished Pakistan by Operation Sindoor, but US and China were also defeated due to.....
AI image for representational purposes How Operation Sindoor impacted US and China: India conducted Operation Sindoor attacking Pakistan and PoK, killing more than a hundred terrorists across nine terror camps. Although India's Operation Sindoor was only aimed at neutralising terror camps of Pakistan and exposing its terror-funding ideology, a much-bigger harm was done to Xi Jinping's China and Donald Trump's US, caused by their diplomatic failures during the recent India-Pakistan tensions. As a result of India's Operation Sindoor, the credibility that America enjoyed in India was massively damaged due to perceived neutrality or indirect support for Pakistan. In addition to this, the success of Indian defence products like the Akash Missile Defence systems have brought a lot of panic and chaos across the US defence manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and Boing. How Operation Sindoor exposed US! Most importantly, the claim that US, led by Donald Trump had made India is a good friend, were overshadowed as India got no diplomatic support from US after it attacked terror locations in Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed twenty-six people. Talking of China, the defence industry of China has seen huge embarrassment after the Chinese supplied air defence systems significantly failed to protect Pakistan in the recent India-Pakistan tensions. PM Modi on 'Operation Sindoor' Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently said 'Operation Sindoor' was far from over and warned that India would continue to exact a heavy price on those who sponsor terrorism, asserting that Pakistan has already been hit 'three times inside its home.' While addressing his first rally in West Bengal since the launch of 'Operation Sindoor' earlier this month, the PM invoked the region's deep cultural and emotional connection with 'sindoor', referring to the traditional ritual of 'Sindoor Khela' observed by Bengali women during Durga Puja.
