Our Heroes got Global support but unfortunately not from Congress: PM
New Delhi, JUly 29 :
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday claimed that the Indian armed forces got support from across the world over ‘Operation Sindoor’ but failed to get any appreciation from the Congress.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha, PM Modi said, “Many things are being said on our foreign policy and global support. I want to say that no country has spoken against India. Only three out of 193 countries spoke in favour of Pak during Operation Sindoor. India, on the other hand, got support from all countries. Our heroes got support from all countries but unfortunately didn’t get Congress’s support.”
He clarified that no leader in the world told India to stop its operations. “US Vice President called on May 9 and said Pakistan was planning a huge attack. I had told that it will cost them dearly. Today, India beams with self-confidence but Congress is depending on Pakistan for its issues. After the successful surgical strikes, Congress asked for evidence and when we gave the proof, they said they had also carried out such strikes. You want a reason to oppose. The nation is laughing at you,” he said.
He alleged that those (read Congress) who ruled for so many years do not have faith in the country’s institution but their trust is created and changed by Pakistan’s remote control. “They are asking why Operation Mahadev, under which operatives behind Pahalgam attacks were killed, happened yesterday. After Pahalgam attack they had asked what happened to the terrorists and now they want to know why it happened yesterday,” he said.
He also accused the Congress of trying to do politics over the death of 26 civilians in Pahalgam. “Within three to four days of the attack, Congress started asking where is Modi’s 56-inch chest and Modi has failed. They appeared so happy and content. For their selfish politics they targeted me. Their attitude hit our soldiers’ self esteem. They don’t have faith in our soldiers so are raising questions on Operation Sindoor. Through such attitude they can bag headlines but not find space in the hearts of the Indians,” he said.
The PM rued that instead of believing India some people are trusting the misinformation given from Pakistan side.
First the Opposition questioned Operation Sindoor and after the exercise ended, they asked why it was stopped, he said adding, “Congress has always had a negative attitude towards our
No World Leader
soldiers.” Dismissing questions raised by Opposition MPs over ceasefire, PM Modi said Operation Sindoor was launched with a specific aim and the Army had successfully achieved it. “When surgical strike occurred, we prepared our soldiers and destroyed the terror launch pads. In Balakot airstrikes, our resolve was to destroy terrorist training centres. For Operation Sindoor, our aim was to destroy the epicentre of terror. All places where terrorists were trained and funded, were identified and destroyed through this operation. Our soldiers were completely successful,” he said.
“Our soldiers held a press conference clarifying that our motive was destruction of terrorist camps. We did what we had decided. We achieved 100 percent of our target. I’m indebted to the people of the country for the support they gave for this operation,” he said.
The PM said that On April 22, the horrific manner in which terrorists killed innocent civilians after asking their religion is an example of ultimate cruelty. “After that, I had said it was our resolve to end terrorism and punish the culprits. I was in abroad and immediately returned. After this, I called a meeting. The Army was given a free hand to decide how, where and when the operation would be launched,” he said.
Lauding the Army, PM Modi said Pakistan army had realised that India would act. They started issuing nuclear threats, he added. In the intervening night of May 6 and 7, India launched an attack and within 22 minutes soldiers took revenge for April 22, he added.
Pakistan’s nuclear threats were proved false and India showed that nuclear blackmailing will not, he said adding, Pakistan airbases suffered huge losses during the operation.
He said that Operation Sindoor showed the strength of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and Pakistan saw the strength of our indigenous missiles and machineries. Joint action of the Navy, Army and Air Force left Pakistan bewildered, he adde
Terror attacks had happened in the past but earlier the masterminds were relaxed planning their next move but now they go sleepless as they know India will come and take revenge. India has set this new normal.
“Operation Sindoor showed the price one has to be pay for attacking India. If India suffers any attack then we will give the response on our terms,” he added.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that three terrorists behind the April 22 Pahalgam attack were killed. He was speaking at the discussion on the Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. The proceedings of both houses of the Parliament commenced at 11 am on Tuesday. Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm amid opposition uproar.
A comprehensive discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ has begun in the Rajya Sabha today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to intervene in the discussion. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge opened the debate for them.
Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha continued its discussion on Operation Sindoor for the second day. The lower house held a discussion on Operation Sindoor months after its initiation, amid the opposition’s demand for the same. The discussion concluded around 1:00 in the morning, with the opposition and ruling party leaders at loggerheads with each other. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh delivered the opening remarks of the discussion on Monday and issued a stern warning to Pakistan.
