Kanpur, May 30 (UNI) While praising the Indian Army's action against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan a few days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday advised Pakistan to mend its ways and said that 'Operation Sindoor' is not over yet.
Addressing a public meeting at the Chandrashekhar Azad Agricultural University campus after launching development projects worth more than Rs 47,573 crore, including the expansion of Kanpur Metro and power plants, the PM said, "Our army performed such a feat that the Pakistani army had to beg to stop the war. I salute the bravery of the Army again and again from this land. 'Operation Sindoor' is not over yet. if Pakistan-backed terrorists dare again, they will be given a befitting reply by entering their homes."
He gave a stern warning to Pakistan and said, "Now the game of state and non-state elements will not work. Wherever the enemy is, he will be defeated. "Operation Sindoor' demonstrated the power of India's indigenous weapons and 'Make in India'. Weapons like the Brahmos missile destroyed targets by entering the enemy's home."
Speaking on Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Modi said that UP, especially Kanpur, is playing an important role in the country's self-reliance in the defence sector. He said that seven factories, including the old Ordnance Factory in Kanpur, have been converted into modern companies.
"Today, the country's biggest defense corridor is being built in UP, which once witnessed the exodus of traditional industries, now big companies of the defence sector are coming there" he said
Discussing the development of Kanpur, he said that now, metro, infrastructure, and civic amenities have started appearing here like big cities. "Kanpur Metro is proof that if the government's intentions are clear and the intentions are strong, then development is possible," he said.
Tight security arrangements were made during the PM's address, and thousands of people were present at the public meeting.
The PM said the programme was proposed on April 24, but due to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, he had to cancel the visit. He paid tribute to Shubham Dwivedi of Kanpur, who was martyred in the attack, and described the pain of his daughter Aishnya Dwivedi as the shared grief of the country.
He said, "The same anger of our sisters was seen by the whole world in the form of Operation Sindoor." UNI XC AB SSP
