Modi asserts global backing for Operation Sindoor, slams Congress for echoing Pakistani propaganda
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday affirmed that no leader of any country had asked India to stop ‘Operation Sindoor‘, which was still giving “sleepless nights” to the masterminds of the Pahalgam terror attack. Replying to an over 16-hour discussion in Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Modi rebutted the Opposition’s charge over US President Donald Trump‘s repeated claims of mediating “ceasefire”, saying he had told US Vice President J D Vance on May 9 night that Pakistan will pay dearly for any attack on India.
Modi said Vance called him up a few times, but he was busy in meetings with the armed forces brass and returned the call later. “The Vice President told me that Pakistan is going to launch a big attack. I told him that if this is Pakistan’s intention, then this will cost it dearly. We will respond with a bigger attack. We will fire cannonballs against their bullets.” “No world leader asked India to stop its military operation,” he said.
Countering the Opposition charges, Modi said Pakistani airbases hit by India in the retaliatory strikes in May are “still in ICU” and asked the Congress to stop giving a clean chit to Pakistan under pressure from “one family”. “Operation Sindoor will continue. It is a notice to Pakistan that India will always act till Pakistan stops attacks,” Modi declared during his marathon reply to the discussion in the Lok Sabha, as he accused the Congress and its allies of becoming spokespersons of Pakistani propaganda. Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, earlier in the day, accused Prime Minister Modi of using the armed forces to protect his image after the Pahalgam attack on April 22 and dared him to rebut US President Trump’s claims of brokering the ceasefire.
When Pakistan retaliated, the Indian Armed Forces taught it a lesson it will not forget for years, Modi said, adding that the neighbouring country was brought to its knees following Indian strikes in its different corners, said Modi. The Prime Minister cited comments of some Pakistanis, which appeared on social media, to stress their shock at the Indian attack. Their DGMO called up the Indian DGMO saying, “Bas karo, bahut mara… Stop the attack.” They could not bear it anymore, he said. In this era of technology-driven war, the Indian defence system proved its mettle, he said, noting that over 1,000 drones and missiles launched by Pakistan were destroyed midair.
In his 102-minute speech, Modi made it clear that no country in the world stopped India from taking action in its defence against terrorism and that no leader of any country asked India to halt ‘Operation Sindoor’. “No country in the world has stopped India from any action in its defence against terrorism. Only three countries spoke in favour of Pakistan at the UN,” he said.
Modi also accused the Congress of operating through the remote control of Pakistan and making young leaders call India’s retaliatory strikes a ‘tamasha‘. “India got support from the entire world, but it is unfortunate that the Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers. Congress leaders targeted me for political gains, but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers,” he said.
The Prime Minister noted that India called out Pakistan’s nuclear bluff and showed the world that “we will not bow down to nuclear blackmail”. “Our operations range from Sindoor to Sindhu (Indus Waters Treaty)… Pakistan knows they have to pay a huge price for any misadventure. Terror attacks were launched earlier, and the masterminds of attacks knew nothing would happen, but now they know India will come for them.” India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty following the Pahalgam attack.
PM Modi said drones and missiles made in India exposed the capabilities of Pakistani arms and ammunition during the military operation. “The world saw the strength of self-reliant India during Operation Sindoor. We destroyed terror sites deep inside Pakistan within 22 minutes to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam attack.” Modi noted that Pakistan had some inkling of Indian action and had started issuing nuclear threats, but could do nothing when terror targets were hit.
“Congress and its allies have unfortunately become spokespersons of Pakistani propaganda. India is becoming self-reliant, but Congress is now dependent on Pakistan for issues. The entire country is amazed to see Congress give a clean chit to Pakistan and sing the same tune as theirs.
“I stand here to make a case for India, and to show a mirror to those who do not understand this. I had said that we will teach the terrorists and their masters a befitting lesson which will be beyond their imagination,” he said.
