Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lambasted Pakistan for endorsing cross-border terrorism, saying that it views “terrorism as tourism,” which he called a serious threat to the world.
Addressing a rally in Bhuj, PM Modi referred to Operation Sindoor, in which India launched precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK, describing it as a mission to save humanity and end terrorism.
“Our policy against terrorism is one of zero tolerance. Operation Sindoor made our stance crystal clear. Whoever tries to make us bleed will face a similar response. They will be spared at no cost. Operation Sindoor is a mission to save humanity and end terrorism… We waited for 15 days to see if Pakistan would take any steps against terrorism, but probably terrorism is their bread and butter. When they did nothing, I gave our armed forces a free hand,” he said.
Operation Sindoor was launched early on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists. The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists.
Following the aggression, India responded decisively by attacking Pakistan’s airbases.
