Prime Minister Narendra Modi has outlined India’s unwavering commitment to combat terrorism, following the success of Operation Sindoor. Addressing the nation yesterday evening, Mr Modi said that the world has seen India’s capabilities, and it is clear terrorists will no longer be spared. Prime Minister said, Operation Sindoor has sent an unambiguous message to terrorist groups and their supporters that any attack on India and its citizens will be met with full force.
Mr Modi said that India will not engage in any discussions with Pakistan except those concerning terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). He criticised the Pakistani government and military for supporting terrorism, warning that such actions could lead to their downfall.
Prime Minister said that the temporary suspension of Operation Sindoor is not a conclusion as India will continue to assess Pakistan’s every move in the coming days to ensure that its future actions align with its commitments. Mr Modi said that within the first three days of the launch of Operation Sindoor, Pakistan suffered destruction far beyond its expectations. Mr Modi mentioned that following India’s aggressive countermeasures, Pakistan began seeking ways to de-escalate, appealing to the global community for relief from rising tensions. The Prime Minister revealed that, after suffering severe losses, Pakistan’s military reached out to India’s Director General Military Operations-DGMO on the 10th of May. Mr Modi noted that Pakistan, in its appeal, assured that it would cease all terrorist activities and military aggression against India. Mr Modi said, in light of this statement, India reviewed the situation and decided to temporarily suspend its counter-operations against Pakistan’s terrorist and military installations.
