Speaking at an event commemorating the birth anniversary of Tamil emperor Rajendra Chola-I, the Prime Minister remarked that the military action had instilled a renewed sense of assurance in the nation.

"The world saw how India responds if someone attacks its security and sovereignty," Modi said, referring to the May 7 strikes conducted in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.

"Operation Sindoor proved that for enemies of India, for terrorists, there is no safe haven," he told the assembled crowd.

The Prime Minister arrived in Tamil Nadu on Saturday night and was received with enthusiasm. A 3-kilometre roadshow in Ariyalur saw BJP and AIADMK supporters lining the streets, waving flags and showering flowers. Modi waved to onlookers while standing on the running board of his vehicle.

Sunday's event marked multiple milestones — the 1,000th year of Rajendra Chola's maritime campaign to Southeast.
