Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his first “Mann Ki Baat” radio address after Operation Sindoor, lauded the Armed Forces for their precision strikes on on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and credited the success to India’s indigenous weapons.
"The valour displayed by our forces during Operation Sindoor has made every Indian proud. The precision and accuracy with which our forces destroyed the terrorist hideouts across the border is amazing. Operation Sindoor has lent a new confidence and enthusiasm to the fight against terrorism across the world," PM Modi said in his monthly broadcast.
“Our soldiers destroyed terror bases; it was their indomitable courage, along with the power of weapons, equipment and technology made in India,” Modi said.
“It also included the resolve of Atmanirbhar Bharat,” he added.
He added that the whole nation was united against terrorism and resolved to end it.
PM Modi noted that after this campaign, a renewed energy is visible in the whole country regarding ‘Vocal for Local’.
He added that there was an increasing sentiment among Indians to buy Indian-made toys for their children, plan domestic vacations and weddings and purchase gifts made by local artisans.
“Friends, this itself is the real strength of India – ‘connection between people and minds… public participation’. I urge all of you too… come, let us take a pledge on this occasion — wherever possible in our lives, we will accord priority to products made in the country. This is not just a matter of economic self-reliance… it is a feeling of participation in nation building. One step of ours can become a huge contribution to the progress of India,” he said.
Operation Sindoor, launched on 7 May by Indian armed forces, targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and PoJK.
