PM Modi’s scathing attack on Pakistan at Bikaner rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Pakistan during a rally in Bikaner, Rajasthan on Thursday,  In his first visit to this State after India successfully carried out Operation Sindoor against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, Modi asserted, “22 ke hamle ka jwab, 22 minute mein aatanki thikane tabah… (April 22 Pahalgam terror attack was avenged in 22 minutes by India)."

“In response to the April 22 attack, we destroyed the nine biggest hideouts of the terrorists in 22 minutes. The enemies of the world and the country have seen what happens ‘jab sindoor barood ban gaya’ (when vermilion turns into gunpowder)." PM Modi said. “Not blood, sindoor boils in my veins”: he added as thousands of people chanted “Modi Modi".

Addressing a massive gathering, he said, “… On April 22, terrorists removed the Sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters after asking about their religion. The bullets were fired in Pahalgam, but 140 crore Indians felt the pain. ‘Har deshwasi ne ekjut ho kar sankalp liya tha ki aatankwadiyon ko mitti mein mila denge’ and to give them an unimaginable punishment, our government gave a free hand to all three forces. All three forces created such a ‘chakravyuh‘ that Pakistan was brought to its knees," the Prime Minister added.

He further elaborated on the three formulas decided to fight terrorism. “First, if there is a terror attack in India, then they will get a befitting reply. Our forces will decide the time, method, and conditions. Second, India is not going to be afraid of nuclear bomb threats. Third, we will not differentiate between terrorists and the governments dependent on them," he said in a clear message to Pakistan.

India’s retaliatory military action was launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 innocent lives. According to government sources, over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were eliminated during “Operation Sindoor.”
