Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first national address after Operation Sindoor, paid tribute to India’s armed forces, vowed zero tolerance for terrorism, and framed a new doctrine that “terror and talks cannot coexist”. He dedicated the operation’s success to every mother, sister, and daughter of the nation, and issued a stern warning to any adversary that future attacks would be met with decisive action. The next day at the Adampur Air Force Base, he met air warriors in person, declaring “Ghar mein ghuske maarenge” to emphasize India’s proactive defense posture.
1. Background: From Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor
1.1 The Pahalgam Terror Attack
On 22 April 2025, in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, terrorists killed 26 Hindu tourists, shocking families and communities across India. Innocent tourists were questioned about their religion before being killed in front of their loved ones, an act Modi described as an attempt to fracture national harmony.
1.2 Launching Operation Sindoor
In response, on 6–7 May 2025, the Indian Armed Forces conducted precise strikes on nine identified terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, marking the beginning of “Operation Sindoor”. This operation was publicly framed as a pledge for justice and a demonstration of India’s military prowess.
