“After India’s action, Pakistan started looking for ways to escape, Pakistan Army contacted our DGMO”: PM Modi

Pakistan had prepared for an attack on the border, but India struck at the heart of Pakistan, PM Modi said

Noting that Pakistan was “deeply disappointed and frustrated” by India launching precision strikes on terror infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that Indian Armed Forces gave appropriate response to Islamabad’s subsequent military aggression and damaged those airbases of the Pakistani Air Forces, of which it was very proud.In address to the nation, PM Modi said the world saw how Pakistan‘s drones and missiles fell like straws in front of India. He said India’s strong air defence system destroyed them in the sky itself.Pakistan had prepared for an attack on the border, but India struck at the heart of Pakistan, PM Modi said adding that India’s drones and missiles attacked with precision.The Prime Minister said after India’s action, Pakistan started looking for ways to escape and was pleading to the world to ease tensions. He said when Pakistan appealed and said that it will not indulge in any sort of terror activities or military audacity further, India considered it.The Prime Minister said after suffering heavy losses, Pakistan Army contacted India’s DGMO on the afternoon of May 10.India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.”Operation Sindoor is not just a name but it’s a reflection of the feelings of millions of people of the country. Operation ‘Sindoor’ is our unwavering commitment to justice. Late night of May 6 and in the early morning of May 7, the whole world saw this pledge turn into reality. Indian forces attacked terror hideouts in Pakistan and their training centers with precision. The terrorists had never imagined that India could take such a big decision. But when the country is united, endowed with the spirit of Nation First and national interest is paramount, then strong decisions are taken and results are achieved,” PM Modi said.”When India’s missiles and drones attacked terrorist bases in Pakistan, not only the buildings of terrorist organizations but their courage also was shaken badly. Terrorist bases, like Bahawalpur and Muridke are universities of global terrorism. The big terrorist attacks of the world, be it 9/11, be it London Tube bombings, or the big terrorist attacks which have happened in India in the last many decades their roots are somehow connected to these terrorist hideouts,” he added.PM Modi said that the terrorists had wiped out the Sindoor “of our sisters and India responded by destroying their terrorist headquarters”.”More than 100 dreaded terrorists have been killed in these attacks by India. Many terrorist leaders were roaming freely in Pakistan for the last two and a half to three decades who used to conspire against India. India killed them in one stroke,” he said.”Pakistan was deeply disappointed and frustrated by this action of India. It was bewildered and in this bewilderment it did another cowardly act. Instead of supporting India’s strike against terrorism, Pakistan started attacking India itself,” he added.He said Pakistan targeted schools, colleges, Gurudwaras, temples and houses of civilians and also India’s military bases.”But in this act Pakistan itself got exposed. The world saw how Pakistan‘s drones and missiles fell like straws in front of India. India’s strong air defense system destroyed them in the sky itself. Pakistan had prepared for an attack on the border, but India struck at the heart of Pakistan. India’s drones and missiles attacked with precision. They damaged those airbases of the Pakistani Air Forces, of which Pakistan was very proud. India caused heavy damage to Pakistan in the first three days itself, which it had never imagined,” PM Modi said.”That’s why after India’s aggressive action, Pakistan started looking for ways to escape. Pakistan was pleading to the world to ease tensions. And after suffering heavy losses, Pakistan‘s army contacted our DGMO on the afternoon of 10th May. By then we had destroyed the infrastructure of terrorism on a large scale. The terrorists were eliminated. We had destroyed the terror camps established in the heart of Pakistan. Therefore, when Pakistan appealed and said that it will not indulge in any sort of terror activities or military audacity further, India considered it,” he added.PM Modi said India has only suspended retaliatory action against Pakistan‘s terror and military camps and will see what attitude Pakistan adopts in the coming days.”I am repeating again, we have just suspended our retaliatory action against Pakistan‘s terror and military camps. In the coming days we will measure every step of Pakistan on the criterion that what sort of attitude Pakistan will adopt ahead,” he added. (ANI)
