PM Modi: Operation Sindoor Shook Pakistan’s Courage
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his national address following Operation Sindoor, delivered a stinging rebuke to Pakistan’s terror infrastructure, declaring that India’s retaliation targeted more than just buildings—it shattered the enemy’s willpower.
“When Indian missiles and drones attacked those sites in Pakistan, it was not just the buildings of the terrorist organisations but their courage also shook. Terrorist sites like Bhawalpur and Muridke were the universities of global terrorism. All big terrorist attacks in the world, including 9/11 or big terrorist attacks in India, are somehow or the other connected to these terrorist sites,” he said.
Operation Sindoor, launched in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, was a bold and swift military campaign against terror camps operating in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Indian Air Force squadrons executed precision strikes on key locations long identified as breeding grounds for radical extremism. Bhawalpur and Muridke, both known command centers of outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, were primary targets.
Terror Strongholds With Global Links
The Prime Minister’s remark categorizing Bhawalpur and Muridke as “universities of global terrorism” highlights India’s persistent concern over the export of terror from Pakistani soil. Security experts have repeatedly linked these locations to operatives involved in international terror plots, including the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and even connections to the 9/11 plot in the United States.
India’s firm action under Operation Sindoor reflects not only a retaliatory move for Pahalgam but also a shift in counter-terrorism posture—one that targets the root, not just the symptom. The Prime Minister’s words underscore that India now seeks to redefine the rules of engagement, where terror factories will be met not with dossiers and diplomacy but with decisive force.
Message to the World
By calling out Pakistan’s long-standing complicity in nurturing extremist violence and identifying specific locations as epicenters of global terror, PM Modi has raised the bar in India’s strategic messaging. The operation, while regional in execution, carried a global message: India will not allow its security to be jeopardized by sanctuaries of jihadist ideology across the border.
The message is clear—India’s patience has limits, and its responses will be swift, calibrated, and potent. Operation Sindoor, and the Prime Minister’s articulation of its intent, signals that New Delhi is no longer willing to play defense in the face of orchestrated terror campaigns.
