PM Modi’s Explosive Address on Operation Sindoor: Top Quotes That Shattered Pakistan’s Nuclear Blackmail Narrative

Operation Sindoor: In his first address to the nation following the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a clear and uncompromising message. 

He made it clear that “India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail, and Operation Sindoor against Pakistan has only been paused, not called off.” 

The Prime Minister made it evident that India's future course of action will depend entirely on Pakistan’s behaviour.

PM Modi’s address came after India’s precision strikes in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 civilians dead. 

Asserting that India is closely monitoring Pakistan’s moves, he reiterated that terrorism and diplomacy cannot coexist, and that New Delhi’s patience has limits.
