In his first public address since the ceasefire with Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a strong message, accusing Pakistan of launching attacks on India instead of cooperating in the fight against terrorism following the brutal massacre in Pahalgam on April 22.
PM Modi said that after the terror attack, India carried out precise retaliatory strikes in the early hours of May 7 under Operation Sindoor. These strikes, he stated, targeted and destroyed major terror hubs in Pakistan, including the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur — which he described as “global universities of terror.”
According to the Prime Minister, the operation resulted in the elimination of over 100 terrorists, including long-standing masterminds behind terror plots against India. “They had been roaming freely in Pakistan for nearly three decades — India neutralised them in one swift move,” he said.
PM Modi noted that the decisive Indian offensive sent shockwaves through Pakistan, which he claimed was left “desperate” and responded with a series of attacks on Indian civilian and military targets. “Pakistan targeted schools, places of worship, and civilian homes... but the world saw the truth. Their drones and missiles were no match for India’s air defence systems,” he asserted.
He further emphasised that while Pakistan had planned for a border confrontation, India instead struck deep within its territory, damaging key airbases and demonstrating military superiority.
The Prime Minister said the scale and swiftness of India’s response left Pakistan reeling and scrambling for international intervention. “In just three days, they were forced to look for ways to de-escalate. Their military leadership reached out to ours, seeking a ceasefire,” he revealed.
