Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described Operation Sindoor as a “decisive action” against terrorism, claiming that nine terrorist hideouts were destroyed within 22 minutes and the entire operation was captured on camera so that “no one back home would ask for proof.”
Addressing a rally in Gandhinagar, PM Modi declared that the days of calling such attacks “proxy wars” were over, pointing out that the involvement of the Pakistani state had been clearly exposed.
“This is a land of the brave. Until now, what we used to call a proxy war, after the scenes witnessed post-May 6, we can no longer make the mistake of calling it a proxy war. The reason is that when nine terrorist hideouts were identified and destroyed within just 22 minutes, it was a decisive action. And this time, everything was done in front of the cameras, so that no one back home would ask for proof,” PM Modi said.
He further stated that Pakistan gave state honours to the terrorists killed in the operation, confirming their link with the Pakistani establishment.
“I say this can no longer be called a proxy war because the terrorists whose funerals were held after May 6 were given state honours in Pakistan. Pakistan’s flags were placed on their coffins, and their army saluted them. It proves that terrorist activities are not a proxy war but a well-planned war strategy. You are already at war, and you will receive the response accordingly. We do not seek enmity with anyone. We want to live peacefully. We also want to progress so that we can contribute to the welfare of the world,” he said.
