Bengaluru: PM Narendra Modi on Sunday credited Indian technology and the 'Make in India' initiative for the swift success of Operation Sindoor, which he said brought Pakistan to its knees within hours in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.
PM Modi's Statement
"The world has seen the nature of new India. They have also seen how the Make in India technology destroyed the terrorist camps hiding hundreds of kilometers away in another country. The contribution of Bengaluru and India in this success is very high,'' he said.
The PM was speaking after launching Metro rail projects here. "The Indian military demonstrated the ability to destroy the terror hubs by targeting them deep inside Pakistan and bringing Pakistan to its knees within a few hours," Modi said.
"We are seeing Bengaluru as a symbol of the rise of New India. It is a city whose soul has spiritual knowledge and has tech knowledge in its action," Modi said.
The Bengaluru contribution through technology has to compete globally and for that, it would require modern infrastructure, he said. A number of projects have been lined up in this direction by the government. The participation of Bengaluru corporate houses like Delta, Infosys and Biocon, which contributed a lot of their CSR funds to Metro projects is laudable, Modi said. Make in India is going in the right direction and soon, India would be manufacturing semiconductors. The recently launched ‘India AI Mission' would make India the global AI leader, he added.
