A month after India carried out Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (6 June) recalled the Indian military strikes that targeted Pakistan-based terrorists.

India had launched the air strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan on the intervening night of 6 and 7 May in response to the 22 April terror attack in Pahalgam in which 26 innocent people, mostly tourists, were brutally killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists.

Addressing a gathering in J&K after launching multiple development projects, PM Modi said that operation Sindoor would haunt Pakistan as a reminder of its “humiliating defeat”.

“Whenever Pakistan hears the name of operation Sindoor, it will be reminded of its humiliating defeat," PM Modi said.

He emphasised that Pakistan’s military and terror networks never anticipated India’s bold move, and within minutes, the terror infrastructure they had built over decades was reduced to ruins.

PM Modi stated that Pakistan was left in shock and frustration, reacting by targeting innocent civilians in Jammu, Poonch, and other districts of J&K.

He condemned Pakistan’s brutal attacks, pointing out that the world witnessed how it destroyed homes, bombed schools and hospitals, and shelled temples, mosques, and gurudwaras.

The Prime Minister also praised the resilience of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, stating that their courage in facing Pakistan’s aggression has been seen by every Indian.

Referring to the 22 April terror attack in Pahalgam, PM Modi asserted that Pakistan attacked both Kashmiriyat and humanity, intending to incite violence in India and cripple the earnings of hardworking Kashmiris.

He pointed out that this deliberate attack on tourists was meant to sabotage the flourishing tourism industry in Jammu and Kashmir, which had witnessed record-high visitor numbers over the past few years.

The Prime Minister remarked that Pakistan’s malicious intent directly impacted local workers, including horse riders, porters, guides, guest house owners, and shopkeepers, aiming to destroy their livelihoods.

He praised the courage of young Adil, who stood against terrorists, but tragically lost his life while striving to support his family through honest labour.

PM Modi reaffirmed his government’s commitment to protecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring that terrorism will never succeed in halting the region’s progress.
