‘Fulfilled promise to avenge Pahalgam terror attack with blessings of Mahadev…’: PM Modi’s BIG statement on Op Sindoor

Operation Sindoor: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his promise to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack through Operation Sindoor was fulfilled with the blessings of Lord Shiva.

“My heart was filled with sorrow for the 26 people who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack,” Modi said while addressing a public meeting in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi.

“My promise to avenge ‘Sindoor’ of our daughters was fulfilled with blessings of Mahadev,” he said, adding, “I dedicate the success of Operation Sindoor at the feet of Mahadev.”

The prime minister also stressed that the “unity of 140 crore countrymen” became the “strength of Operation Sindoor”.

PM urges Indians to adopt ‘swadeshi’

Meanwhile, Modi also called upon citizens to adopt the spirit of “swadeshi” and support locally-made products, stressing that true service to the nation lies in promoting indigenous goods, especially amid “global economic uncertainties”.

Addressing a public meeting in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi, Modi said, “As we talk about economic progress, I want to draw your attention to the current global scenario.

“The world economy is facing instability and uncertainty. In such times, countries are focusing solely on their own interests. India, too, is on the path to becoming the world’s third-largest economy and must remain alert to its own economic priorities.”

Emphasising that farmers, small industries, and employment for youth are the top-most priorities for the government, Modi said, “The government is doing everything possible in this direction. But as citizens, we too have responsibilities.”

The prime minister’s renewed push for ‘swadeshi’ (indigenous) comes amid the US announcing tariffs on exports from about 70 nations, including India.

According to the White House order, India now faces tariffs of 25 per cent for its exports to the US.
