Bikramganj (Bihar), May 30 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday renewed his warning of stern action against terrorism under 'Operation Sindoor' if any misadventure was visible on Indian soil, and that those involved would be taken out of their hideouts and crushed.
PM Modi was addressing a public meeting in Rohtas district of Bihar, second in the state since April 24 after Pahalgam terror attack. He said he had made a promise during his last visit to punish terrorists and their patronisers "beyond their imagination" for killing innocent people in Pahalgam on April 22. He fulfilled his promise as terror hideouts in Pakistan were razed and other military establishments were damaged in Operation Sindoor carried out by the armed forces, he said.
"Operation Sindoor has not been stopped; it is just on hold but would be put in action again if any misadventure of terror attack was attempted on our soil," the Prime Minister said, adding that those involved in any such misadventure even in the future would be crushed, taking them out from their hideouts.
"Valour of our armed forces in Operation Sindoor was witnessed around the world but it is not the only arrow in our tarkash (quiver) and more will come out in the event of any terror attack again ", Modi said, clearly indicating that further action against terrorists and their patronisers would be more fierce and devastating.
The Prime Minister said that youths of Bihar, particularly of the Shahabad region, the birthplace of Veer Kunwar Singh, were in the armed forces in large numbers. He also paid tribute to BSF Jawan Imtiyaz, who was martyred during Operation Sindoor.
Modi, during his last visit on April 24 in Madhubani district of Bihar, had issued a warning to terrorists and conspirators involved in the Pahalgam attack that they would be punished beyond their imagination.
On the night of May 6-7, Operation Sindoor was launched, damaging terror hideouts and airbases in Pakistan. More than a hundred terrorists were killed during the operation in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
