Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Monday at 8 PM, delivering his first speech since the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 8, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
His address came just two days after India and Pakistan reached an understanding to cease all military actions on land, air, and sea with immediate effect.
The understanding between the two countries followed four days of intense cross-border strikes that had raised fears of an escalating conflict.
Here are the top quotes from PM Narendra Modi’s address:
On giving full freedom to Indian armed forces on Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said, “We have given full freedom to the Indian army to wipe out the terrorists and today every terrorist, every terror organisation knows ‘ki hamari behano, betiyon ke maathe se Sindoor hatane ka anjaam kya hota hai’ (Today every terrorist and every terror organisation knows what it means to wipe the sindoor off the foreheads of our sisters and daughters)"On the significance of ‘Operation Sindoor’, PM Modi said, “Operation Sindoor is not just a name. It is a reflection of the feelings of millions of people in the country. Operation Sindoor is an unbroken pledge of justice. Late night of 6 May and morning of 7 May, the whole world has seen this pledge turning into results."On halting military operations with Pakistan, PM Modi said, “When Pakistan appealed and assured that it would not engage in any further terrorist activities or military adventures, India considered this request. And I repeat, we have only suspended our retaliatory actions on Pakistan’s terrorist and military bases for now."On Operation Sindoor setting a new benchmark in the fight against terrorism, PM Modi said, “Operation Sindoor has set a new standard in the fight against terrorism. It has established a new normal. First, whenever there is a terrorist attack on India, a strong response will be given. We will respond in our own way and take action at every place where the roots of terrorism are found. Second, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail."On the issue of terrorism and dialogue, PM Modi said, “India’s stance is absolutely clear: Terror and talks cannot go hand in hand, terror and trade cannot coexist."Concluding his address, PM Modi said, “I once again want to salute the Indian Armed Forces. I also bow to the pledge of every Indian to stay united.
