‘Operation Sindoor’ not over, has been put on hold: Modi’s warning

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has warned Pakistan that Operation Sindoor is not over, it has only been put on hold. Modi gave this warning in his address to the nation on Monday (May 12). This was reported by Indian media outlet NDTV on Tuesday (May 13).

Modi addressed the nation to inform about India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ in Pakistan after the horrific attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.

Modi said, ‘Pakistan should know that the attacks are not over yet. These have only been put on hold after Pakistan promised to take action against terrorist installations.’

He also said, ‘In the coming days, we will measure every step of Pakistan by the yardstick of what kind of attitude Pakistan will adopt in the future. If Pakistan retreats or misleads, I repeat, we have only postponed our retaliatory action.’

In a 22-minute speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a summary of India’s drone and missile strikes that were beyond Pakistan’s imagination.

The Prime Minister added, ‘India has not only dismantled Pakistan’s terrorist infrastructure through its precision strikes, but also broken their morale.’

In another warning to Islamabad and Rawalpindi (Army Headquarters), the Prime Minister said, ‘Operation Sindh is not just an operation, but a doctrinal shift in India’s policy of fighting terrorism.’

Modi added, ‘Operation Sindh is the new normal. Wherever there is a terrorist base, India will attack and if our country is attacked, it will give a strong response.’

On Pakistan’s ‘nuclear blackmail’, he said, it will not be able to suppress India. India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will strike terror sanctuaries built under the cover of nuclear blackmail with a specific and decisive blow.

He warned Pakistan that “India will not differentiate between the government sponsoring terrorism and the masterminds of terrorist attacks.”

Four days of India-Pakistan clashes followed India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ in Pakistan. US President Donald Trump then announced a ceasefire on Saturday under US mediation. Two days later, Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Monday (May 12).
