Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the nation for the first time since India’s successful operation of Operation Sindoor. He thanked the armed forces and intelligence agencies for their strategic acumen and bravery. PM Modi referred to Operation Sindoor as more than a military term. He referred to it as a national sentiment that reflects the strength, sacrifice, and determination of 140 crore Indians. His words were both thankful and a stern warning—India will never allow attacks on its people or dignity again.
Operation Sindoor as a National Symbol
With this speech, PM Modi made Operation Sindoor into something greater than a military victory. He connected it with India’s cultural and emotional identity. The operation now becomes a representation of India’s justice, revenge, and resilience.

A Salute to the Forces and Their Freedom
The Prime Minister started his speech by praising the unbreakable spirit of Indian forces and intelligence agencies. He averred, “Operation Sindoor is not a name. It is a symbol of the sentiments of millions of citizens across the nation. Operation Sindoor is an unbroken promise of justice.”
PM Modi emphasized that May 6 evening and May 7 morning would be etched in the history of India’s strong reaction. The world saw how India translated its commitment into tangible outcomes.
A Stern Message to Terrorists and Their Sponsors
In a bold warning to terror groups and their sponsors, PM Modi announced, “We have given full freedom to the Indian army to destroy the terrorists.” He reaffirmed the country’s resolve and issued a warning to those who dare to attack India.
The PM said, “Every terrorist, every terror organisation knows ‘ki hamari behno, betiyo ke maathe se Sindoor hatane ka anjaam kya hota hai’.” This statement echoed the emotional gravity of the mission and the government’s zero-tolerance stance against terrorism.
The speech helped to bring the nation together and convey a clear message to the other side of the border—India will retaliate forcefully when attacked.
