India has faced three major terror attacks since Narendra Modi first took oath as Prime Minister in 2014 but he has replied to each with such firmness that the entire world is looking in awe while Pakistan is experiencing it with a sense of fear, said Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah in Gandhinagar Saturday.
He further said Indian forces have avenged the Pahalgam attack by decimating the headquarters of terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba while entering 100-km deep into Pakistan.
Addressing a public meeting in Kolavada in Gandhinagar, where he inaugurated or laid foundation stones of developmental projects worth Rs 707 crore, Shah said that before Modi came to power, terrorists, who would repeatedly kill people, were not given any befitting reply.
“Ever since Narendra Modiji took oath (as PM), three (terror) attacks have taken place. First attack happened in Uri, second in Pulwama; and the third one was done recently in Pahalgam by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. However, Modiji replied to each attack with such firmness that the entire world is looking in awe and Pakistan is experiencing it with a sense of fear,” Shah, the Lok Sabha MP from Gandhinagar constituency, said.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi, among others, were also present on the occasion.
Shah said India replied to the terror attacks in Uri and Pulwama by carrying out surgical strikes and air strikes.
“This time (after the Pahalgam attack), their headquarters have been destroyed and security experts from across the world get surprised when they analyse Operation Sindoor. Today, I have come to say with pride that the revenge of Pahalgam has been taken by decimating the headquarters of (terror outfits) Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba,” Shah said.
‘Entered 100km deep into Pakistan’
Lauding the efforts of the Indian military, Shah said, “Our military has accomplished the task of giving answer to terrorists by entering 100 km deep into Pakistan.”
He said that the sounds of Indian bombs have given a clear message to terror handlers that if such an act is committed against India, it will be replied to with double the force.
The Union Home Minister said that while India had struck only terror camps, the Pakistan military attacked innocent civilians across India’s western border. However, he added, India’s air defence system has become so perfect that not a single missile or drone could land on the country’s soil.
Shah further said that in reply, Indian forces attacked 15 military locations in Pakistan without damaging their civilians and sent a message that they cannot stop Indian missiles.
“For the first time, after Independence, Indian forces entered 100 km inside Pakistan and demolished camps of terrorists. And they (Pakistan) were threatening (us), saying that they have an atom bomb. They thought that we would be frightened by their threats. But it did not happen and our air force, army and navy gave a befitting reply,” Shah said.
‘Entire world praising Indian military’s precision’
Shah said that the entire world is praising “Indian military’s precision to strike, its restraint and political will of Prime Minister Modi”.
Shah said that in future, whenever there would be discussion on military operations in the world, Operation Sindoor will be part of it. He said that the Operation was named Sindoor by PM Modi himself “in honour of mothers and sisters” of India.
“The losses sustained by victim families (of Pahalgam terror attack) cannot be compensated, but Modiji certainly fulfilled the promise he made in Bihar of taking revenge by decimating the terrorists,” Shah added.
Shah said PM Modi has not only made efforts for development, but also made the country secure.
