Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hailed Operation Sindoor during a speech in Madhya Pradesh, stating Indian soldiers brought Pakistan to its knees.
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone for the Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in Dhar district, Modi said: “The nation gives utmost priority to the security of Maa Bharti. We did Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror camps.”
He added that the “world saw a Pakistani terrorist weeping and recounting his plight” in reference to a viral video of aish-e-Mohammad (JeM) commander’s speech wherein he was heard stating that India tore into pieces the family of terror mastermind Masood Azhar during the May 7 strikes at the group’s headquarters in Bahawalpur in Pakistan.
“Yesterday, the country and world saw how one Pakistani terrorist, weeping and tearfully narrating his ordeal. This is the New India, which does not fear any nuclear threats. It enters the enemy’s house and strikes),” Modi said, adding that terrorists from Pakistan desecrated the vermilion of our sisters and daughters. “We carried out Operation Sindoor and demolished the terror launch pads,” he said.
Swadeshi Goods
He also made a strong pitch for swadeshi goods. “This is the season of festivals, and we must remember the mantra of Swadeshi and incorporate it into our lives. I have a humble request to my 140 crore fellow countrymen that whatever you buy, it should be made in our country and should bear the sweat of some Indian or another. It should carry the fragrance of the soil of my India,” Modi said.
