Jaipur: Sending a clear message to Pakistan and the rest of the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that playing with the blood of Indians will cost Pakistan dearly. This is India's resolution and no power in the world can shake India from this.
After the successful Operation Sindoor, addressing his first public meeting from Bikaner, the district in Rajasthan on the international border with Pakistan, PM Modi said, “Any terrorist attack on India would result in severe consequences, with Pakistan paying a heavy price—borne by its military and its economy”.
Despite the scorching heat of 45 degrees Celsius, the Josh was high among the big crowd present to listen to PM Modi who came to Bikaner to inaugurate 103 redeveloped railway stations of the country and to start development projects worth Rs. 26 thousand crores in the Rajasthan. With this, PM Modi on one hand showed the power of developing India to neighboring Pakistan and the world, and on the other hand, he outlined India's zero tolerance policy towards terrorism following Op Sindoor.
Condemning the terrorist attack on April 22, where assailants targeted innocent lives based on their faith, Modi remarked that while the bullets were fired in Pahalgam, they pierced the hearts of 140 crore Indians, uniting the nation in resolve against terrorism. He highlighted the decisive response by India's armed forces, stating that they were given full operational freedom. He noted that in a meticulously executed operation, the three forces collaborated to dismantle Pakistan’s defenses, forcing them to bow down on their knees.
“ In response to the April 22 attack, India struck back within 22 minutes, destroying nine major terrorist hideouts. This action demonstrated the nation's strength, proving that when the sacred Sindoor turns into firepower, the outcome is definitive”, said the Prime Minister.
Somewhat in a poetic manner, Modi said, “Those who attempted to erase the sacred sindoor have been reduced to dust, and those who spilled India’s blood have now paid the price in full. Those who assumed India would remain silent are now in hiding, while those who boasted about their weapons now lie buried beneath rubble.”
Emphasizing that Operation Sindoor was not an act of revenge, but a new form of justice, he remarked that it was not just an expression of outrage but a display of India's unwavering strength and determination. He asserted that the nation has adopted a bold approach, striking the enemy directly and decisively. “Crushing terrorism is not just a strategy but a principle, this is India, this is the new India”, stressed Modi.
PM Modi once again outlined three key principles established through Operation Sindoor in India’s fight against terrorism, and said - any terrorist attack on India would be met with a decisive response, with the timing, method, and terms determined solely by India’s armed forces.
Second - India would not be intimidated by nuclear threats and Third - India would no longer differentiate between terrorist masterminds and the governments that support them, rejecting Pakistan’s distinction between state and non-state actors.
Recalling Pakistan's repeated failures in past conflicts, Modi asserted that Pakistan can never win a direct confrontation with India, so Pakistan has used terrorism as a weapon against India.
The Prime Minister firmly declared that there would be neither trade nor talks with Pakistan. “ We will talk only about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and if Pakistan continued exporting terrorists, it would face economic ruin," said the PM.
The Prime Minister stated that upon arriving in Bikaner, he landed at Nal Airport, which Pakistan had attempted to target but failed to inflict any damage. He highlighted that across the border, Pakistan’s Rahim Yar Khan Airbase has been forced to shut down for several days due to India’s precise military strikes, which severely impacted its operations.
Earlier PM Modi visited Karni Mata temple in Deshnok known as the Temple of Rats. He inaugurated the Deshnok Railway station and fleg of a train between Bikaner and Mumbai.
The Prime Minister pointed to the rapid advancements in roads, airports, railways, and railway stations over the past 11 years and said, “India is now investing six times more in infrastructure development compared to previous years, progress that has captured global attention”.
The Governor of Rajasthan, Haribhau Kisanrao Bagade, Chief Minister of Rajasthan Bhajanlal Sharma, Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw, Arjun Ram Meghwal were present among other dignitaries at the event.
