On Monday evening, Prime Minister Modi delivered a candid address to the nation, sending a strong message to Pakistan. He clearly stated that our operation is merely on hold. Our counteractions on Pakistani terrorist and military targets are only temporarily suspended; in the coming days, every move by Pakistan will be closely scrutinized.
'Terror-Talk and Terror-Trade Cannot Coexist'
Prime Minister Modi pointed out that this era is undeniably not of war, but nor is it of terrorism. A staunch zero-tolerance policy against terrorism guarantees a better world. The way the Pakistani military and government are nurturing terrorism will eventually lead to Pakistan's own downfall. If Pakistan seeks to survive, it must eradicate its terror infrastructure. India's stance is crystal clear... Terror and talk cannot happen simultaneously, nor can terror and trade coexist. Moreover, water and blood cannot flow together.'
Attacks on Our Religious Sites and Schools
Prime Minister Modi highlighted that India's decisive strikes on terrorist targets left Pakistan shaken, catching its leadership off-guard. Instead of supporting India's anti-terrorism efforts, Pakistan retaliated by attacking our religious sites, schools, civilian homes, and military establishments.
However, this hostility only served to expose Pakistan's vulnerabilities
The world witnessed how India's advanced and robust defense systems effortlessly neutralized Pakistan's missiles and drones, dismantling their offensive like a house of cards mid-air. While Pakistan aimed to target India's borders, India strategically responded with precise strikes on their key infrastructure.
Continuous Vigil on Pakistan's Actions
Prime Minister Modi stated that Pakistan was compelled to assure they will refrain from any terrorist or military activities. Following careful deliberation, we decided to temporarily suspend our operations against Pakistan's terrorist centers and military establishments. Nevertheless, we remain vigilant and will closely monitor their actions in the future.
