Prime Minister Narendra Modi fiercely condemned terrorism once again in Bikaner. He stated that terrorists, inquiring about religion, had desecrated the sindoor of our sisters. The shots fired in Pahalgam pierced through the hearts of 1.4 billion Indians. Following this, every countryman unitedly vowed to eradicate the terrorists, promising a punishment beyond imagination. Today, thanks to your blessings and the valor of our forces, we have stood by that pledge.
PM Modi emphasized that our government had granted freedom to the armed forces, creating a strategic web that forced Pakistan to its knees. This heroic land teaches us that nothing is greater than our country and its people. In retaliation for the attack on the 22nd, we dismantled nine of the largest terrorist strongholds within 22 minutes.
He continued, stating, 'To those who set out to destroy sindoor, they have been reduced to dust. Those shedding Indian blood have been held accountable for every drop. Those who believed India would remain silent are now cowering. Those who boasted about their weaponry are buried under rubble. My dear countrymen, this is not a game of revenge; this is a new form of justice. This is Operation Sindoor. It is not mere rage; it is the fierce form of unified India, a new India. Once, attacks were made by entering homes. Now, the strikes are direct, aimed at the heart. This is our strategy to crush terrorism. This is the path of India, the new India.
PM Modi declared that even the adversaries of the nation have witnessed what happens when sindoor transforms into explosives. After the airstrike, I asserted with utmost humility,
'I swear by this soil, I will not let this nation perish, nor will I let it bow.'
Today, from the land of Rajasthan, I address the wave of tricolor journeys flowing across every corner of the nation.
PM Modi asserted that India will not be intimidated by the bluffs about nuclear bombs. We will not differentiate the masterminds of terror from the supporting government. Pakistan’s game of state and non-state actors will no longer succeed. You might have noticed, to expose Pakistan globally, seven distinct delegations from our country, encompassing all political parties, are traversing the world. Now, the true face of Pakistan will be shown to the world. Pakistan can never win a direct confrontation with India. In any direct encounter, Pakistan faces defeat repeatedly. As a result, Pakistan has turned terrorism into a weapon against India since independence. For decades, this has been their approach. Pakistan spreads terror, assassinates innocent people, and creates an atmosphere of fear in India. However, Pakistan forgets one thing. Now, Modi, the servant of Bharat Mata, stands firm here. Modi may have a cool head but his blood runs hot. Now, even hotter than blood, sindoor flows through Modi's veins.
He warned that every terrorist attack will cost Pakistan dearly, a cost their army and economy will bear. When I traveled from Delhi to Bikaner, I landed at the Nal Airport. Pakistan targeted this airbase as well but couldn't inflict even a fraction of damage. And not far from here lies Pakistan's Rahim Yar Khan Air Base—its fate is uncertain. In critical condition, isolated. No trade with Pakistan, no talks, except about the region of Kashmir under Pakistan’s control. The water rightfully belonging to India will be secured. Playing with the blood of Indians will prove costly for Pakistan. This is India's resolve, and no power can deter us from this mission.
