PM Modi In Rajasthan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Pakistan and said that India's enemies have learnt what happens when 'sindoor' becomes 'barood' (gunpowder), lauding the armed forces for creating a 'Charavyuh' (trap) that brought Pakistan to its knees. PM Modi further asserted that India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats and will not differentiate between terrorists and the governments that support them, saying Pakistan can never win in a direct conflict with India.

Addressing a gathering in Rajasthan's Bikaner, the prime minister said that in response to the ghastly terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, "we destroyed nine biggest terror hideouts in 22 minutes". "The world and the enemies of the country have seen what happens when 'sindoor' turns into 'barood' (gunpowder)," he said, adding, "Those out to wipe out 'sindoor' were reduced to dust".

PM Modi's Rajasthan Address: Top Quotes

- "On April 22, terrorists removed the Sindoor from the foreheads of our sisters after asking about their religion. The bullets were fired in Pahalgam, but 140 crore Indians felt the pain. 'Har deshwasi ne ek jut ho kar sankalp liya tha ki aatankwadiyon ko mitti mein mila denge' and to give them an unimaginable punishment. By the valour of our forces, we fulfilled that resolution. Our government gave a free hand to all three forces. All three forces created such a 'chakravyuh' that Pakistan was brought to its knees."

- "22 tareekh ke hamle ke jawab mein, humne 22 minutes mein aatankiyon ke 9 sabse bade thikane tabaah kar diye. Duniya aur desh ke dushmanon ne dekh liya ki jab sindoor Barood ban jata hai to kya nateeja hota hai," the prime minister said.

- "Jo sindoor mitane nikle the, unhe mitti mein milaya hai. Jo Hindustan ka lahu bahate the, aaj katre katre ka hisab chukaya hai. Jo sochte Bharat chup rahega, aaj gharon mein pade hain. Jo apne hathiyaron pe ghamand karte the, aaj wo malde ke dher mein dabe hue hain... (Those who had set out to erase the sindoor have been buried in the soil. Those who shed India's blood, their accounts have been settled. Those who thought India would remain silent are hiding in their homes today. Those who were proud of their weapons are today buried in its debris)."

- "Ye shodh pratishodh ka khel nahin, ye nyay ka naya swaroop hai, ye Operation Sindoor hai. This is not just an agitation; this is the 'Raudra Roop' of a strong India. Ye Bharat ka naya swaroop hai. Pehle ghar mein ghus ke kiya the vaar, ab seene pe kiya prahar hai. (First, we entered their house and attacked, now we have attacked them on their chests). This is the policy and the strategy to destroy the fangs of terrorism. This is new India."

- "Operation Sindoor has decided three formulas to fight terrorism. First, if there is a terror attack in India, then they will get a befitting reply. Our forces will decide the time, method and conditions. Second, India is not going to be afraid of nuclear bomb threats. Third, we will not differentiate between terrorists and the governments dependent on them."

- "Pakistan can never win in a direct fight with India. Hence, it uses terrorism as a weapon against India. This went on for decades after independence. Pakistan spread terrorism, killed innocent people, and created an environment of terror. But, Pakistan forgot one thing, now the servant of Mother India, Modi, is standing here with pride. Modi's mind is cold, but his blood is hot. In Modi's veins, not blood, but hot Sindoor flows," he said.
