NEW DELHI:

Modi made the remarks during the 122nd episode of his monthly radio show, Mann Ki Baat, the first after Indian armed forces struck down nine terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor on May 7. The operation was in retaliation to April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.

"Today, the entire nation is united against terrorism, filled with anger, but determined. Today, every Indian's resolution is to eliminate terrorism," PM Modi said. "The precision and accuracy with which our forces destroyed the terrorist hideouts across the border is extraordinary. Operation Sindoor is not just a military mission; it is a picture of our resolve, courage and a transforming India and this picture has infused the whole country with a sense of patriotism and has painted it in the hues of the tricolour."
