During inauguration of the BrahMos Aerospace Integration and Testing Facility at the Lucknow node of the UP Defence Corridor, while comparing terrorism with a dog's crooked tail, the CM said that it can never be straightened.

Referring to Operation Sindoor, he said India has sent a clear message to the world that terrorism will be met with decisive action.

He said, "Time has come for everyone to unite under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to crush terrorism with one voice."

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also joined the event virtually and together with CM Yogi launched the BrahMos unit by pressing a button. During the event, a publication related to defence production, titled 'Brahmand', was also released.

Yogi praised the bravery of India's armed forces and lauded the leadership of PM Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Congratulating the people of UP, he said the success of Operation Sindoor was a result of the joint strength of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

He said, "The world saw what BrahMos can do during Operation Sindoor. And if anyone still has doubts, they should ask the people in Pakistan what the missile is capable of."

He said that PM Modi has made it clear that every terrorist act will now be treated as an act of war. "Terrorism will not end unless we crush it completely," he stressed.
