While addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a stern warning to Pakistan and said, "Operation Sindoor is not over yet".
Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi said, "Kanpur's son Shubham Dwivedi has also become a victim of that barbarity...We can feel the pain, suffering and anger of our daughter Aishanya (Shubham's widow). The world witnessed the same anger of our sisters and daughters in the form of Operation Sindoor."
In retaliatory strikes, India attacked terror infrastructure and outfits in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir two weeks after the Pahalgam attack on April 22.
"Operation Sindoor is not over yet. It showed the world the power of indigenous weapons and Make in India," said Modi. Indian weapons and Brahmos missiles entered Pakistan's territory and wreaked havoc, he added.
The Indian armed forces's fierce strikes forced the Pakistani Army to "plead to stop the war," Modi said.
While adding that India won't be intimidated by nuclear bomb threats any more, Modi laid out the country's three principles in the fight against terror.
"First, India will give a befitting reply to every terrorist attack with the timing, manner, and the condition of the reply to be decided by our armies themselves," said Modi.
Secondly, India won't be scared by the nuclear bomb threat any more nor would it make a decision on that basis. And third, India will see the masters of terror and government patronising terror in the same light.
PM Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 15 development projects worth over Rs 47,600 crore on Friday. While speaking about the developments, he added that big companies in the defence sector are coming to Uttar Pradesh.
"The production of AK 203 rifles has begun in Amethi. The new address of BrahMos missile that did not let the enemies sleep during Operation Sindoor is Uttar Pradesh," he said.
While slamming the Opposition, Modi said that the dynasty-oriented government kept the entire Uttar Pradesh lagging behind. He also mentioned the key developments including Metro expansion in the city, international airports, and the achievement of self-sufficiency in energy after the double-engine government came into power in the state.
