World saw consequences when ‘Sindoor’ becomes ‘barood’: PM Modi

Bikaner: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday warned Pakistan that its Army and its economy would pay a heavy price in case of a terrorist attack in India.

Speaking at an event here, the Prime Minister said the world and India’s enemies had seen when ‘Sindoor’ (vermilion) turns into ‘barood’ (explosives). India had destroyed 9 main terrorist centres in 22 minutes for the terrorist attack on April 22. ‘’World and India’s enemies have seen the consequences when Sindoor (vermilion) turns into barood (explosives),’’ the Prime Minister said while referring to the success of Operation Sindoor.

Pakistan would pay a heavy price for ‘‘playing with Indians’ blood’’, he said while referring to the terrorist attack at Pahalgam in Kashmir in which 26 innocent tourists were killed. ‘’If Pakistan continued to export terrorists into India, it will have to pay for every penny.’’

‘’India has made it very clear that for every terrorist attack on India, Pakistan will have to pay a heavy price and this price will be paid by the Pakistan Army and Pakistan’s economy,’’ Mr Modi said adding that Pakistan would not get the water on which Indian people have the right.

The Prime Minister said Operation Sindoor had given three formulae for combating terrorism.

First--any terrorist attack on India would have heavy consequences and the time, the manner and the conditions would be decided by the Indian Army.

Second—India will not be afraid of nuclear threats.

Third—Terrorist masters and their State patrons would not be treated as separate entities. They would be considered as one.

The Prime Minister said Pakistan’s excuse of State and non-State actors would not hold any longer. In the Operation Sindoor the government gave free hand to Defence Forces and all the three forces together forced Pakistan ‘’go down on its knees.’’
