Operation Sindoor: Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a fiery address in Bikaner, Rajasthan, sending a stern warning to Pakistan in the wake of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. Modi vowed that India will make Pakistan pay a “heavy price” for spilling the blood of Indians, asserting that neither water nor trade would be extended to a country that “plays with the sindoor of Indian daughters.”
No trade, no talks—only PoK on agenda
“Let me make it clear—there will be no trade and no talks with Pakistan,” PM Modi declared. “If there are any talks, they will be only about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.” His remarks come amid heightened tensions following the recent Pahalgam attack in which terrorists reportedly targeted Hindu pilgrims, drawing nationwide outrage.
Nine terror camps destroyed in 22 minutes
The Prime Minister revealed details of a swift and decisive counterstrike, stating, “In retaliation for the April 22 attack, India destroyed nine of Pakistan’s major terror hideouts within 22 minutes.” He praised the Indian Armed Forces, saying the government had given all three services a “free hand,” and they devised a strategic response that “brought Pakistan to its knees.”
“The entire world watched, and even the enemies witnessed the outcome when sindoor turns into barood (gunpowder),” Modi said, emphasising that India is no longer afraid of nuclear blackmail.
‘Pakistan’s Rahim Yar Khan Airbase in ICU’
In a particularly sharp remark, PM Modi claimed that Pakistan’s Rahim Yar Khan airbase, a key military asset, was now in the “ICU” following India’s retaliatory action. While official confirmation on the extent of damage is awaited, the statement underscores the government’s aggressive shift in dealing with cross-border terrorism.
‘Not a drop for water to Pakistan’
In a clear warning, the Prime Minister said Pakistan will no longer get water “that rightfully belongs to India.” “Water is for our farmers, not for those who send terrorists. Pakistan must now learn—every drop comes at a cost.”
‘Sindoor in my veins, not blood’
In an emotional moment, Modi said, “Not blood but sindoor runs in my veins.” Referring to the symbolic meaning of sindoor (vermillion) worn by married Hindu women, he said, “Those who tried to wipe out the sindoor of our sisters have been reduced to dust.”
Development push in Rajasthan
The Prime Minister inaugurated development projects worth Rs 26,000 crore, including the redevelopment of 103 Amrit Stations across 86 districts in 18 states and Union Territories. “Today, I came here after taking blessings from Karni Mata,” he said, invoking the revered Rajasthani deity as he addressed thousands.
