‘Operation Sindoor’ was launched in response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reiterated his “this is not an era of war” message with an important insertion – “But this is also not an era of terror” – in a strong note to Pakistan. “Our unity against all forms of terrorism is our greatest strength. This is certainly not the era of war, but this is also not the era of terrorism. Zero tolerance against terrorism is the guarantee of a better world,” he said. The Prime Minister was addressing the nation on Monday evening for the first time since India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror bases in Pakistan.
“The terrorists had removed the sindoor (vermilion) of our sisters, so India destroyed their headquarters of terror,” he said.
‘Operation Sindoor’ was launched in response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where terrorists gunned down 26 people, only men, in front of their families.
PM Modi said that ‘Operation Sindoor’ has marked a decisive shift in India’s strategic approach and a “new normal” in counter-terrorism measures. “Operation Sindoor is now India’s established policy in the fight against terrorism, marking a decisive shift in India’s strategic approach,” he declared.
