On May 12, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, outlining a bold shift in India’s approach to Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. This military strike, launched on May 7, targeted terror camps in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. PM Modi’s speech, delivered after a ceasefire agreement, underscored India’s resolve to combat terrorism decisively. Hailing the armed forces’ precision, he framed the operation as a tribute to Indian women, symbolising justice for victims.
PM Modi’s strong stance against Pakistan
Modi highlighted three key points:
First, Operation Sindoor is India’s new anti-terror policy. It eliminated over 100 terrorists and hubs in Bahawalpur and Muridke, rejecting “nuclear blackmail.”
Second, peace depends on Pakistan dismantling its terror infrastructure. Operations are paused, not ended, with future actions based on Islamabad’s conduct.
Third, the operation honours Indian women, delivering justice for terrorism’s victims. This doctrine signals India’s proactive stance against terror. The address marked a new era in India-Pakistan relations, prioritising national security and zero tolerance for terror.
