Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the world has seen the power of India's indigenous weapons during Operation Sindoor, which is "not over yet".

About Operation Sindoor in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 persons, Modi said that India destroyed terrorist hideouts deep inside Pakistan, and the world saw the "anger of our daughters and sisters in the form of Operation Sindoor".

"Operation Sindoor is not over yet. It showed the world power of indigenous weapons and Make in India. We destroyed terrorist hideouts in Pakistan by going hundreds of miles inside. Indian weapons, Brahmos missile entered enemy territory and wreaked havoc," the Prime Minister during the rally.

The heroics of the Indian armed forces forced the Pakistani Army to "plead to stop the war", he said and asserted that India would no longer be intimidated by the threat of the nuclear bomb nor would it make a decision on that basis.

"Moreover, Pakistan's ploy of state and non-state actors is not going to work anymore," Modi said.

"India's principle in the fight against terror is to give a befitting reply to every terror attack. Its time, method and conditions will be decided by our forces themselves," he added.
