Operation Sindoor is not over yet: PM Modi's announcement from Bengal
Kolkata/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday made a startling announcement that Operation Sindoor, a military action which was launched by the Indian Armed Forces to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, is "not over yet".
Addressing a rally in West Bengal's Alipurduar, the Prime Minister made the announcement without much details on it.
Speaking on Operation Sindoor, Modi said, "On April 22, the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook the nation. The pain and anger felt across West Bengal were deeply understood. I could feel your outrage. The terrorists dared to wipe off the sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor."
"Pakistan, the country that nurtures terrorism, has nothing positive to offer to the world. Since its very inception, it has been a breeding ground for terror and violence. But India has changed. We no longer tolerate such cowardly acts. And Operation Sindoor is our firm answer," the supreme leader of the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) added.
"Pakistan should realise that India hit them thrice in their own territory. We worship Shakti, Mahishasura Mardini. I say this from the land of Bengal Tiger, it's the proclamation of 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is not over yet," he added.
Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor was a fierce military operation launched by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on May 7, in response to the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists who were enjoying their vacation at Baisaran Valley, which is referred to as India's Switzerland.
The operation aimed to dismantle terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
After the Pakistan Army again targeted Indian civilians and resorted to cross-border firing, the Indian Armed Forces retaliated, destroying defence systems of the hostile neighbour.
On Pakistan's appeal, India responded with a ceasefire on May 10 but Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned of fresh retaliation if Islamabad goes astray.
