Ending a strong message that the country would not bow down to threats of terrorism and nuclear attacks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dubbed Operation Sindoor as "the new normal for India."

Giving the powerful statement during a visit to the Adampur-based Indian Air Force base, the PM said that the operation has not ended and it will be a continuing and decisive action against state-sponsored terror attacks on Indian citizens.

In his maiden visit to a military base post the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Modi visited the AF station located near Jalandhar, Punjab, in a highly secret visit today. As per the reports, Modi landed at the base at 0615 Hrs and spent precisely 50 minutes interacting with the troops and senior officials based there. The visit is being perceived as a message to snub the rumours being circulated as part of Pakistan's information warfare, about the damage to the base in the aerial strikes and boosting the morale of the troops in the station.
