PM Modi | Bihar | Operation Sindoor

Our armed forces turned terror hideouts into ruins: PM Modi on Operation Sindoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Karakat in Bihar on Friday, laid the foundation stone and dedicated multiple development projects worth over ₹48,520 crore, marking a major step towards boosting infrastructure and economic progress in the state.

Addressing a large gathering, the Prime Minister said he felt honoured to accelerate Bihar’s development from its sacred soil. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to the people of the state for their continued support, especially acknowledging the presence and blessings of thousands of women in the audience. “The affection and trust shown by the people of Bihar, particularly our mothers and sisters, is a great source of strength,” he said.

During his address, Prime Minister Modi referred to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed several innocent lives. Recalling his earlier visit to Bihar in the aftermath of the attack, he said he had promised the nation that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. “Today, I stand before you having fulfilled that pledge. Our armed forces turned the hideouts of those who conspired from across the border into rubble,” he stated.

The Prime Minister underlined that the swift and decisive response by India’s forces had sent a strong message to the world. “This is the new India. The world has seen the power of the sindoor of our daughters. The terrorists, once emboldened by protection across the border, now cower in fear,” he added, referring to the military action termed Operation Sindoor.

Describing the operation as a testament to India’s growing strength and resolve, PM Modi said the country’s military struck key enemy positions, including airbases and military installations, within minutes. “This is the India of resilience, courage and swift action,” he asserted.

Paying tribute to Bihar’s legacy of bravery, the Prime Minister invoked the memory of Veer Kunwar Singh and noted the substantial contribution of the state’s youth to the Indian Army and Border Security Force (BSF). He praised the BSF’s valour during Operation Sindoor and described them as an unbreakable shield protecting India’s borders.

PM Modi also honoured BSF Sub-Inspector Imtiaz, a native of Bihar, who was martyred in the line of duty on May 10. “The sacrifice of Bihar’s brave son will always be remembered,” he said.

Reiterating his earlier statement from Bihar, the Prime Minister said that Operation Sindoor was just a glimpse of India’s capabilities. “This was only one arrow from our quiver,” he declared, reinforcing the message of a strong and assertive India.
