Adampur (Punjab), May 13 (KNO): Reaffirming India’s unwavering resolve to fight terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday issued a strong warning to Pakistan and terror outfits, asserting that any future attacks on Indian soil would be met with a befitting response—on India’s own terms and conditions.
While addressing armed forces personnel at Adampur Airbase in Punjab, which Pakistan had claimed was damaged during the recent attacks, PM Modi, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “India’s new doctrine is clear: any terror attack will evoke a decisive response. India’s Lakshman Rekha against terror is drawn. If crossed the response will be powerful, precise, and on our terms.”
“If Pakistan dares to carry out another terror attack, our armed forces will respond by hitting them within their dens,” said the Prime Minister, while addressing armed forces personnel at Adampur Airbase in Punjab.
“We have suspended Operation Sindoor, not called it off. New India wants peace, but it cannot tolerate attacks on humanity,” he said.
Highlighting the success of “Operation Sindoor,” PM Modi said the Indian forces not only defended critical airbases but also took the battle deep into enemy territory. “Our Air Force entered deep inside Pakistan in just 20 to 25 minutes and destroyed terror hideouts with such precision that the adversary couldn’t even react,” he said.
“More than 100 terrorists were killed, and nine major terror centers were destroyed. The Indian forces taught a stern lesson to the Pakistan Army. Our soldiers proved that India will enter the homes of terrorists and eliminate them,” he declared, evoking thunderous applause from the troops.
Saluting the courage and dedication of the Army, Air Force, Navy, BSF, and other security agencies, PM Modi, as per KNO, said, “Every Indian is proud of you. When the feet of our veer jawans touch the earth, the land becomes blessed. I have come here for your darshan. You are the inspiration for generations to come.”
“It is because of your valour that the entire world is hearing about Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor is not an ordinary operation. The echoes of Operation Sindoor's success can be heard across the globe. It reflects India's intent, policy and strength,” PM Modi told the soldiers.
He appreciated the exemplary coordination during “Operation Sindoor,” noting that the joint effort of manpower and advanced military technology has given India a new strategic edge. “The adversary tried to target this and other airbases, but every attempt was foiled. Our airmen even ensured civilian aircraft were not harmed, despite Pakistan using them as shields.”
PM Modi said, “We trampled terrorists in their homes. Pakistan tried to attack this base (Adampur) but failed. They tried to dare 'Hind Ki Sena'. The terrorists have now realised, you try to attack us and the result would be their destruction...massive destruction. No place in Pakistan is now safe for terrorists. The godfathers of terrorism have realised that casting an evil eye on India will only mean their destruction.”
“India Will Not Tolerate Nuclear Blackmail”
In a pointed reference to nuclear posturing by Pakistan, PM Modi stated firmly, “India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail. The terror bosses and the government that supports them will be dealt with in the same way.”
PM Modi reiterated his pride in the armed forces and expressed confidence in their ability to defend the nation. “A strong security framework has become the identity of India today. I am proud of our brave soldiers and the new technology that empowers them. This is the new Bharat—resilient, resolute, and ready.”
“India's army, Navy and Air Force have made the Pakistani military bite the dust. Pakistan will not get any sleep for a long time just thinking of our drones and missiles. Our intent is clear, if there is another attack, India will respond. We saw this during the surgical strikes and Balakot strikes but Operation Sindoor is the new normal,” he added—(KNO)
