Op Sindoor created a new ‘new normal’: Modi

Prime Minister stated that there was currently “nothing to discuss” with Pakistan, dismissing the idea of any resumption of diplomatic talks unless terrorism originating from Pakistani soil is completely dismantled

In a powerful address to the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a historic shift in India’s policy towards Pakistan, declaring a new era of zero tolerance against terrorism. Referring to the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that left 26 people dead, Modi firmly stated that “terror and talks cannot go together,” and that any future provocation will be met with swift and decisive retaliation.

The Prime Minister confirmed the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, a high-precision military offensive launched on May 7. Targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the operation involved coordinated airstrikes, drone strikes, and missile precision targeting. These sites were long identified as major hubs of cross-border terrorism and have now been, in Modi’s words, “systematically dismantled.” Several key militants believed to be involved in long-term terror plots against India and foreign nations were neutralised during the operation.

Modi emphasised that the military action marked a “new strategic doctrine” for the country, one in which India’s response to terrorism would be fiercer, faster, and uncompromising. “A new normal has emerged—if you strike us, we will strike back with greater force,” he asserted.

In a significant diplomatic move, the Prime Minister also confirmed that India has placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance. The decades-old water-sharing agreement with Pakistan has been a subject of debate, and Modi made it clear that there would be no going back. “These days, there is a lot of discussion in the media about water. Earlier, even the water that was India’s right was flowing out of the country. Now, India’s water will be conserved for India’s benefit, and it will be used for India’s progress,” he said. Reiterating India’s long-held position, he declared, “Blood and water cannot flow together.”

Prime Minister stated that there was currently “nothing to discuss” with Pakistan, dismissing the idea of any resumption of diplomatic talks unless terrorism originating from Pakistani soil is completely dismantled. “Trade, cooperation, and diplomacy must be built on trust, not on terror,” he remarked. He also sent a strong signal that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir remains central to India’s strategic and diplomatic focus moving forward.

“A new normal has emerged—if you strike us, we will strike back with greater force.”

Responding to Pakistan’s veiled nuclear threats, Modi said India would not be intimidated by “nuclear blackmail.” He underscored India’s strategic readiness and technological capabilities, asserting that national defence was in strong and capable hands. He credited India’s military forces, intelligence agencies, and scientists for executing Operation Sindoor with precision and professionalism.

Addressing the emotional impact of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, where 25 tourists and one local were killed in a brutal terrorist ambush, Modi said the victims were targeted while simply celebrating their freedom. He described the attack as a heinous attempt to fracture the nation’s unity but added that the response had only strengthened India’s resolve. He warned that Pakistan’s retaliatory targeting of civilian areas, including schools and places of worship, reflected a “desperation” that was swiftly countered by Indian forces. Several Pakistani airbases, he claimed, were rendered non-operational through targeted strikes.

In closing, the Prime Minister declared that India’s message to the world is unambiguous: terrorism will never be tolerated, and the country’s sovereignty is non-negotiable. “This is a defining moment,” he said. “India has changed. The world must understand that any act of terror will be met with firm, immediate consequences. Our doctrine is clear: security first, diplomacy only with dignity, and action without compromise.”
