India will not be blackmailed by nuclear threats. We will strike with precision, decisiveness, and without hesitation – Prime Minister Narendra Modi
New Delhi: In a landmark national address that has resonated across the global strategic landscape, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared the successful execution of Operation Sindoor as a turning point in India’s counter-terrorism policy and global security framework. Positioning himself as a resolute and visionary leader in the global war on terror, Prime Minister Modi has unveiled a bold, unapologetic security architecture that could best be termed the “Modi Doctrine” — a doctrine built on decisive retaliation, strategic autonomy, and zero tolerance for terrorism.
“Sindoor Will Not Be Wiped Again”
Speaking from South Block, the Prime Minister invoked the anguish of the Pahalgam massacre, where innocent Indian civilians were brutally executed in front of their wives and children by Pakistan-backed terrorists after being asked to identify themselves by religion. “Today, every terrorist knows the consequences of wiping Sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters and daughters,” Modi said, asserting that the name Operation Sindoor is a national pledge — an emotional and strategic response rooted in justice.
Operation Sindoor is not a name — it is the heartbeat of a nation standing united against terror
The Modi Doctrine: A New Strategic Triad
Modi formally articulated India’s recalibrated security posture under what can best be called the Modi Doctrine, underpinned by three uncompromising pillars:
- Decisive Retaliation: Any attack on Indian soil will now be met with direct, overwhelming response targeting the root of terror.
- No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail: The use of nuclear threats by rogue states as a shield for harboring terrorists will be ignored; India reserves the right to strike with surgical precision.
- No Distinction Between Terrorists and Their Sponsors: Governments aiding, abetting, or sheltering terrorists will be treated no differently from the terrorists themselves.
This is not an era of war, but it is not an era of terrorism either, the PM warned, asserting that peace can only thrive when rooted in strength.
Modi underscored that India’s military superiority has now extended from traditional to New Age warfare, encompassing AI-powered defense, cyber defense, and missile-dominant strategic deterrence.
Global Message: Terror and Talks Can’t Coexist
Reiterating India’s long-held position, Modi was unequivocal: “Terror and talks cannot go hand-in-hand. Terror and trade cannot coexist.” Without directly referring to the Indus Water Treaty now kept in abeyance, he further said, “blood and water cannot flow together.” Any future diplomatic engagement with Pakistan, he stated, will be limited strictly to terrorism and the status of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
With the Modi Doctrine now firmly established, India has transitioned from strategic restraint to strategic dominance. This shift signals to the world that in the battle between civilization and terror, New India will no longer wait for any permission to act — it will lead.
“Terrorists tried to humiliate our women. We destroyed their headquarters.” — PM Modi
Describing the operation as India’s “unwavering pledge for justice,” he noted that Pakistan, which had mobilized to strike at India’s borders, was instead struck “right at its core.” The Indian armed forces, armed with indigenous precision-strike capabilities, destroyed over 100 terrorist elements and leveled key terror infrastructure in Bahawalpur and Muridke — long known as sanctuaries of international jihad.
He cited irrefutable evidence of Pakistan’s deep complicity — including high-ranking military officers attending funerals of slain terrorists — as proof of state-sponsored jihad.
The Prime Minister lauded the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy and paramilitary forces for executing one of the most complex synchronized assaults in modern warfare. He noted that Pakistan’s missiles and drones were “neutralized like straw” in Indian airspace, with indigenous systems displaying exceptional interception capability.
India’s BrahMos missiles, AI-enabled drones, and defense platforms were hailed as proof that “Made in India” is now a formidable global military standard.
A Moment of Global Reckoning
In the wake of Pakistan’s calls for a “ceasefire” — after suffering massive losses — Modi revealed that they had contacted India’s DG Military Operations, begging for a “ceasefire”. India, having achieved tactical objectives, paused further strikes but made clear that any future violations will be met with swifter and harsher retribution.
“Zero tolerance against terrorism is not just India’s stance — it is the world’s only hope for peace,” the Prime Minister declared.
Salute to the Nation’s Guardians
Closing his address on the eve of Buddha Purnima, Modi invoked Lord Buddha’s message of peace through strength. He paid tribute to the nation’s armed forces, scientists, and intelligence officers, stating that Viksit Bharat (Developed India) can only rise on the foundation of security, dignity, and unity.
