🔥 Operation Sindoor: A Red Line in India's Security Doctrine
PM Modi described Operation Sindoor as a turning point in India’s counter-terrorism posture. He declared that the terror camps in Bahawalpur and Muridke—infamously known as the global universities of terrorism—were successfully destroyed. Over 100 terrorists were eliminated in precise strikes that struck deep inside Pakistan and PoK.
Referring to the symbolic name of the operation, he asserted, “Terrorists desecrated the sindoor of our sisters. We razed down the very headquarters of terrorism in return.” He noted that this bold act stunned the global terror network, just as it stunned those who once underestimated India's response.

He condemned Pakistan's attempt to attack civilian and military targets in India, revealing that India retaliated swiftly and effectively, destroying missile and drone capabilities.
He revealed that Pakistan, after facing severe damage, reached out to Indian military authorities seeking a ceasefire.
🚫 No Talks Except on Terrorism and PoK
Reiterating India’s firm stand, Modi made it unequivocally clear that talks with Pakistan would only be held on two issues: terrorism and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). He asserted:
“Terror, trade, and talks cannot go hand-in-hand. Blood and water can’t flow together.”
This statement reaffirms a long-standing policy shift where engagement will only follow tangible actions by Pakistan to dismantle its terror networks.

Sir Agree . These are not questions of dissent—they are questions of trust. Those who believe in the PM deserve to believe with confidence, not confusion. conviction grows stronger when it is nourished with clarity. In democracy, clarity from the top strengthens the base. Clarity empowers the loyal. When the government communicates transparently, it doesn’t just answer critics—it fortifies the convictions of those who already stand with it.
