India's triumph over Pakistan: From military dominance to economic growth

There is no doubt that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's religion is India and the security and welfare of all Indians.
There is no doubt that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's religion is India and the security and welfare of all Indians. A true patriot, he is a man of his word and commitment. Having assured the nation that the "conspirators and perpetrators" of the cowardly Pahalgam attack "will face the harshest response," he promptly took the initial steps of suspending the Indus Water Treaty, asserting dominance on the Line of Control and international border, sealing the Attari border, expelling Pakistani officials, and sending back Pakistani nationals besides halting visa facilities. India launched Operation Sindoor, a meticulously planned, calibrated and non-escalatory military operation to destroy nine major launchpads of the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This dealt a blow to Pakistan's terror apparatus and neutralized high-value targets, such as Yusuf Azhar, a senior JeM operative and brother-in-law of Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar, wanted for the 1999 IC814 hijacking and the Pulwama attack. The key terror camps were in Muridke and Bhawalpur, which were reduced to rubble. The strikes were so precise that they avoided military facilities to minimize the risk of escalation or any civilian casualties and neutralized over 100 terrorists. These camps are known to the international intelligence community as well. The Indian Navy kept its Pakistan counterpart at bay and confined it to its coastal waters.
