|May 31, 2025
Operation Sindoor is not over and New Delhi will respond firmly to every act of terrorism without distinction between state and non-state actors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, adding that India-made weapons, including the BrahMos missile, entered enemy territory and wreaked havoc.
PATNA/KANPUR: Operation Sindoor is not over and New Delhi will respond firmly to every act of terrorism without distinction between state and non-state actors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, adding that India-made weapons, including the BrahMos missile, entered enemy territory and wreaked havoc.
Speaking at two separate rallies in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, Modi lashed out at opposition parties, underlined his government's commitment to eradicate Maoist violence, and hailed his administration's record of infrastructure development and welfare. He also met the family of one of the victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which triggered Operation Sindoor.
"The homegrown systems, including the BrahMos missile, penetrated hundreds of miles deep in enemy territory and delivered precise strikes. The explosions occurred exactly as intended. This is the power of Make in India," he said. "The BrahMos missile that gave sleepless nights to the enemy during Operation Sindoor, its new address is also Uttar Pradesh," he declared in a rally in Kanpur.
Earlier in the day, speaking in Bihar, Modi said he had lived up to his pledge given on April 24 from Bihar's soil of punishing the perpetrators of terrorism "beyond their imagination".
"The people of Sasaram know the doctrine of Lord Ram.
'Praan jaaye par vachan na jaaye' (Rather die than break a promise)... After the dreadful terrorist attack in Pahalgam, I had promised the country from the land of Bihar that the hideouts of the perpetrators of terrorism would be razed to the ground, that they would get a punishment beyond their imagination. Today, when I came to Bihar, I have fulfilled my promise," he said.
