Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that no world leader had asked India to stop the Operation Sindoor. PM Modi’s remarks came amid the opposition’s accusation of agreeing to ceasefire with Pakistan under US pressure.
He said it was the Pakistani side who urged India to stop Operation Sindoor pleading that they cannot suffer any longer. He said, during the talk with US Vice President, India made its stand clear that if Pakistan attacks, India will respond by launching a big attack.
Responding to the special discussion on Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister said, India destroyed the terror camps situated deep inside Pakistan during the Operation.
He said, India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Armed Forces took revenge for 22nd terror attack in just 22 minutes.
He stressed that India showed to the world that it will not bow down to nuclear blackmail of Pakistan. He said, India has made it clear through Operation Sindoor that if there is a terrorist attack on India, it will respond in its own way.
He emphasized that India will not see terrorist-supporting governments and terror masterminds as two separate entities.
Modi said the world witnessed the strength of self-reliant India during the Operation and drones and missiles made in India exposed the capabilities of Pakistani arms and ammunition.
He said, country’s forces executed the planned operation with precision during Operation Sindoor and Pakistan was powerless to stop it. He added that Pakistan’s airbases and assets have suffered heavy damage in the operation.
The Prime Minister said, India got the support of all the countries during Operation Sindoor. He said that India is moving ahead at a fast pace towards self-reliance. The Prime Minister said, the Congress party has never had a clear vision for the country’s national security and weak governance under Congress-led governments resulted in the loss of many civilian lives in terrorist attacks.
Earlier, the Home Minister Amit Shah said that as part of the investigation, the team engaged with family members of the victims, tourists, pony operators, photographers, and local residents.
He said, more than one thousand individuals were questioned and based on the inputs gathered, composite sketches were prepared. Shah said that subsequently on 22 June, two individuals – Bashir and Parvez – were identified as those who had harboured the terrorists.
The Home Minister said the country’s security forces not only eliminated the terrorists but also targeted those who sent them.
Shah added that the day Lashkar-e-Taiba claimed responsibility for the attack, the government gave the responsibility of delivering justice to the country’s armed forces.
He said, Operation Sindoor was launched on 7 May and carried out between 1:04 AM and 1:24 AM. He said nine terror sites in Pakistan were destroyed in this Operation and more than 100 terrorists were neutralised.
HM Shah said that no Pakistani civilians were killed in this attack and the targets were 100 kilometres inside Pakistan. He emphasised that the Narendra Modi government has a policy of Zero Tolerance against terrorism.
Shah criticised former Home Minister P Chidambaram for seeking proof of the terrorists being from Pakistan, giving clean chit to Pakistan.
He stressed that Operation Sindoor has unmasked Pakistan in front of the entire world. He hit out at the Opposition for politicising everything, saying that Pakistan had no option but to surrender as its striking capabilities were destroyed during Operation Sindoor.
He said Pakistan’s DGMO called India’s DGMO on 10 May and a ceasefire was announced after that. He stressed that war has several consequences and everything has to be taken into account.
