Fight against terror won’t end until threat fully neutralised: PM

Kanpur, May 30: Stating that “Operation Sindoor” aimed at decimating terror infrastructure is far from over, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that by taking decisive action against terrorists in Pakistan, Indian Armed Forces have sent a clear message that terror won’t be tolerated.
Addressing a gathering here after launching projects worth over Rs 47,600 crore, PM Modi said, “Pakistan’s ploy of using state and non-state actors will no longer work, as the befitting response given by our armed forces’ compelled Pakistan to raise a white flag and seek a ceasefire.”
The PM said India’s military response was decisive and warned that more action could follow if necessary. “The enemy has seen the power of Operation Sindoor. They should understand that this is just one arrow in our quiver,” he said.
PM Modi said the fight against terrorism is ongoing and will not stop until the threat is fully neutralised. “India’s fight against terrorism has neither stopped nor halted,” he said.
PM Modi compared terrorism to a serpent that must be dealt with before it strikes again. “If it raises its hood again, it will be dragged out of its hole and trampled,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that wherever the threat emerges from, it will be dealt with firmly. “No matter where it is, the enemy will be thrashed,” he said.
He said that during Operation Sindoor, Indian forces entered terrorist camps across the border and destroyed their sites. “We entered their camps and destroyed the terror sites in Pakistan,” he said.
PM Modi added that Pakistan had to plead for a halt to the operation. “The Pakistan Army ended up begging to stop the war,” he said.
He said those who think the operation has ended are mistaken. “Don’t be fooled, Operation Sindoor is not over yet,” he said.
According to PM Modi, the Indian response to terrorism will always be calculated and carried out on the military’s own terms. “India’s principle in the fight against terror is to give a befitting reply to every terror attack. Its time, method and conditions will be decided by our forces themselves,” he said.
Earlier in the day, during his visit to Uttar Pradesh, the Prime Minister met the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a victim of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The meeting took place at Chakeri Airport in Kanpur.
Shubham Dwivedi, a 31-year-old businessman from Kanpur, was among the 26 people killed when terrorists opened fire on tourists in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam.
He had recently married and was travelling with his wife and family when he was shot dead. (KNO)
