Mumbai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a powerful address at a public rally in Nanded, Maharashtra, where he outlined the country’s resolute approach toward national security, particularly in response to recent terrorist activities. Shah’s speech focused on India’s bold military actions under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing that there can be no compromise when it comes to the armed forces, citizens, and borders.
“Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message to the world,” Shah declared. “Anyone who threatens the Indian army, its people, or its borders will face severe consequences.” He detailed a series of retaliatory measures undertaken by India in response to cross-border terrorism, particularly highlighting the significant operations that have reshaped the nation’s defence strategy in recent years.
Retaliation to terror attacks: A new approach
Amit Shah recalled some of the most notable responses to terror attacks in India. “They attacked us in Uri, and we retaliated with a surgical strike. They attacked us in Pulwama, and we carried out an airstrike. And then, when terrorists targeted Pahalgam, we launched Operation Sindoor, which destroyed their terror hotspots,” he said, underlining the shift in India’s defense policy under the Modi government.
Shah also mentioned the recent heinous attack on innocent civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, allegedly supported by Pakistan, where terrorists brutally killed people in front of their families. “Prime Minister Modi had already made it clear that those responsible would not be spared. He stated that no matter where they hide, we will find them and eliminate them,” Shah reiterated.
The Home Minister continued, noting that under previous governments, terror attacks often went unanswered or were met with weak responses. “The days of inaction are over. Under PM Modi’s leadership, India has changed its strategy and now responds decisively to any threat,” he asserted, referring to the nation’s strengthened defense posture in recent years.
