Fulfilled vow to avenge Pahalgam attack with blessings of Mahadev: PM on Op Sindoor

The PM also hit out at the Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) for their “baseless statements” on Operation Sindoor, asserting that such actions would only strengthen the “resolve of a united and self-reliant India.”

He said Lord Shiva represents welfare, but assumes a fierce form when faced with terror and injustice. “The world witnessed this fierce form of India during Operation Sindoor,” he said, warning that “whoever attacks India will not survive — even in hell.” “This is a new India — one that worships Bholenath, but turns into Kaal Bhairav when faced with the enemies of the nation,” said the PM.

The PM also credited the success of Operation Sindoor to the “unity of 140 crore Indians”, terming this as the “foundation of India’s strength”. “This unity sparks a new consciousness each time,” he said, asking the crowd if they weren’t proud of India’s might and the operation’s success. He highlighted the precision strikes by Indian drones and missiles that reduced terror hideouts to rubble, adding that many of Pakistan’s airbases “are still in the ICU.”

Modi launched a sharp attack on the Opposition, saying some in the country have a “stomach ache” over the success of Operation Sindoor. “The Congress and its allies can’t digest that India destroyed Pakistan’s terror bases. Pakistan’s sorrow is understandable — but why are Congress and SP sharing their grief?” he asked. He added, “On one side, the king of terror cries; on the other, Congress and SP weep over the condition of terrorists.”

Accusing Congress of insulting the armed forces, he said the party is calling Operation Sindoor a ‘tamasha’. “Tell me—can sindoor ever be a tamasha? Calling our army’s valour and our daughters’ honour a spectacle is shameful and will not be tolerated,” he asserted.

The PM took a sharp dig at the SP, accusing it of indulging in vote bank and appeasement politics. Referring to SP leaders’ remarks in Parliament questioning the timing of action against the Pahalgam terrorists, he said, “Should I call them and ask — should we kill terrorists or not? Should we wait to eliminate them?”

He reminded the public that during the SP’s rule in Uttar Pradesh, the party “withdrew cases against those accused in bomb blasts and gave clean chits to terrorists.” “They have a problem with the killing of terrorists and even with the name — Operation Sindoor,” he added.
