Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued a stern warning to Pakistan, emphasizing that the country's continued support for terrorism will lead to its own destruction. In a recent address to the nation, PM Modi asserted that "the way the Pakistani army, Pakistan government are encouraging terrorism, it will destroy Pakistan one day. If Pakistan wants to survive as a country, it will have to destroy its terror infrastructure. There is no other way to peace".
Modi's strong words come in the wake of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly after the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. India responded with "Operation Sindoor," a coordinated military response targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Prime Minister lauded the Indian armed forces for their decisive action, stating that Islamabad was left "reeling" and "begging for peace" after suffering heavy losses.
PM Modi outlined a new security doctrine for India, built on three key pillars:
The Prime Minister has made it clear that dialogue with Pakistan is contingent upon the dismantling of its terrorist infrastructure and the return of PoK. He emphasized that "terror and talks cannot happen together... terror and trade can't happen together... and terror and water cannot flow together".
PM Modi also addressed the issue of nuclear blackmail, stating firmly that "India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. Terror infra operating under nuclear blackmail will be targeted by India". He cautioned Pakistan that India will strike "precisely and decisively at the terrorist hideouts developing under the cover of nuclear blackmail".
Furthermore, PM Modi highlighted that "Operation Sindoor is not just an operation, but a doctrinal change in India's policy to combat terror". He affirmed that "India will strike wherever terror bases are located, and shall do so decisively if our country is attacked". While the Prime Minister acknowledged that a ceasefire is in place, he clarified that it is conditional and depends on Pakistan taking action against terrorists and terror facilities. "Pakistan must know that the strikes are not over, they have only been suspended after Pakistan promised it will take action against terrorists and terror facilities," he stated.
In conclusion, PM Modi's message to Pakistan is clear: dismantle your terror infrastructure, or face the consequences. The Prime Minister's firm stance reflects a shift in India's approach to dealing with cross-border terrorism, prioritizing decisive action and zero tolerance.
