Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a stern warning to Pakistan during his address to Indian Air Force personnel on Tuesday. This comes during his visit to Adampur air base in Punjab. The address comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor. The retaliatory operation was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. PM Modi during his visit declared that India has not only given a befitting reply to terrorists but also to the Pakistani army that supports them.

“Jis Pakistani sena ke bharose ye aatanki baithhe the, Bharatiya sena, Bharat ki Air Force aur Bharatiyon ne us Pakistani sena ko bhi dhool chata di hai. (The terrorists rely on the Pakistani Army… the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, and Indians have made the Pakistani Army bite the dust.)”, said PM Modi, referring to the Pakistani military’s support of terrorist activities.

“Ghar Mein Ghuskar Marenge”: PM Modi

PM Modi further highlighted India’s aggressive stance on cross-border terrorism. Modi said, “Hum ghar mein ghuskar marenge aur bachane ka ek mauka tak nahi denge. (We will enter their homes and strike, and we won’t even give them a chance to escape.)”He asserted that there is no place left in Pakistan where terrorists can hide.

“Aatank ke aakao ko samajh aa gaya hai ki Bharat ki ore nazar uthane ka ek hi anjaam hoga tabaahi aur mahavinaash,” PM Modi declared, indicating that the masterminds of terror now understand the consequences of provoking India.

Operation Sindoor: India’s New Normal

During the address, PM Modi underlined that Operation Sindoor marks a new era in India’s counterterrorism strategy. PM Modi said, “India’s ‘Laxman Rekha’ against terrorism is crystal clear now. If another terror attack occurs now, India will give a reply – a solid reply. We saw this during surgical strike, during air strike. Now, Operation Sindoor is India’s new normal.”

He lauded the coordination between the Army, Navy, and Air Force, stating, “During this, the coordination of our armed forces was genuinely fantastic. Be it Army, Navy or Air Force, their coordination was amazing. The Navy showed its dominance over the sea, the Army strengthened the border and the Indian Air Force attacked as well as defended. BSF and other Forces displayed fantastic capabilities. Integrated air and land combat system did an amazing job. This is jointness. This has become a strong identity of the capability of Indian armed forces.”

India Ready for Any Misadventure

PM Modi further stressed the importance of India’s readiness. He said, “We need to always remain alert and prepared. We need to keep reminding the enemy that it is dealing with new India.”

During his address, Modi said, “Operation Sindoor is not a normal military operation. It is the confluence of India’s policy, intention and decisiveness. India is the land of Buddha as well as Gobind Singh ji… When the sindoor of our sisters and daughters was removed, we entered the houses of the terrorists and crushed them.”

“We have dusted them off. The Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy have defeated the Pakistani Army. We gave them a message that there is no place in Pakistan where the terrorists could live peacefully. ‘Hum Ghar Mein Ghus Ke Marenge’,” he reiterated.

National Unity Against Terrorism

In his address, the Prime Minister also spoke of the nation’s unity and the valor of Indian soldiers in light of the recent attacks. He condemned the April 22 Pahalgam incident, where civilians were targeted based on faith, and said the bravery of Indian forces is dedicated to the women of India.

“Now, Operation Sindoor is India’s new normal. Like I said yesterday, India has decided on three points. First, if there is a terrorist attack on India, we will give a reply in our way, on our condition, on our time. Second, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. Third, we will not see terror-supporting governments and terror masterminds as separate entities. The world too is going ahead by understanding India’s new form, its new system.”

“Bharat Mata Ki Jai is not just a slogan, but our soldiers’ pledge to dedicate their lives for the nation. When our drones and missiles hit our enemies, they hear ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. When our armed forces take the wind out of nuclear blackmail, our enemies understand the importance of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’,” said Modi.

“The tales of your valour will be etched in history forever. I salute our Army, Air Force and Navy personnel,” he concluded.
