West Bengal: Noting that the country’s enemy will have a huge cost to pay if there is a terror attack in India, PM Modi on Thursday said Pakistan had resorted to terrorist action against India after partition in 1947 and that the terror it spread ahead of creation of Bangladesh and the rape and murders committed by its army there cannot be forgotten.
The Prime Minister, who was addressing a rally here, referred to the success of Operation Sindoor in which precision strikes were conducted on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to Pahalgam terror attack.
“Now that I am standing on the sacred land of Sindoor Khela, it is only right that we speak about a new resolve against terrorism — Operation Sindoor. On April 22, the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook the nation. The pain and anger felt across West Bengal were deeply understood,” he said.
“I could feel your outrage. The terrorists dared to wipe off the sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor. Pakistan, the country that nurtures terrorism, has nothing positive to offer to the world. Since its very inception, it has been a breeding ground for terror and violence. But India has changed. We no longer tolerate such cowardly acts. And Operation Sindoor is our firm answer,” he added.
PM Modi said Operation Sindoor has not ended. “We are the people of worship Shakti, Mahishasuramardini. From this land of Bengal, this is a declaration of 140 crore Indians that Operation Sindoor is not over yet,” he said.
“After the Pahalgam attack, India has now told the world that if there is a terrorist attack, the enemy will have to pay a heavy price for it,” he said.
PM Modi said India had carried out surgical strikes thrice inside Pakistan.
He said “terror and genocide are biggest expertise” of Pakistan Army.
“When there is a direct battle (against India), their defeat is certain, that is why Pakistan’s Army takes help from terrorists. It started attacking India after the partition in 1947. After a few years, the terror it spread in what is now Bangladesh, the way its army committed rape and murder in Bangladesh, no one can forget it,” he said.
Bangladesh emerged as a separate country in 1971 after the War of Liberation against Pakistan.
PM Modi said Pakistan, the country that nurtures terrorism, has nothing positive to offer to the world. “Since its very inception, it has been a breeding ground for terror and violence.”
Operation Sindoor was India’s decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Launched early on May 7, Operation Sindoor led to the death of over 100 terrorists. India also effectively repelled subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases.
In his speech, PM Modi also launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee government and said West Bengal needs freedom from “politics of violence, appeasement, riots and corruption” and that the people are looking towards “BJP’s development model”.
PM Modi took several jibes at the Trinamool Congress government, and said West Bengal is surrounded by many crises simultaneously.
“First is the crisis of violence and anarchy spreading in the society. Second is the unsafety of our mothers and sisters who are being subjected to heinous crimes. The third crisis is of the extreme despair and rampant unemployment spreading among the youth. The fourth crisis is of the continuously declining trust in the system. The fifth crisis is of the selfish politics of the ruling party, that steals the rights of the poor,” he said.
