Interacts with air warriors, soldiers at Adampur
Adampur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to the Air Force Station at Adampur on Tuesday, delivered a powerful address to the armed forces, praising their courage and reaffirming India’s assertive stance on national security.
In the wake of Operation Sindoor, he said that India’s response to terrorism has entered a new era — precise, resolute, and unforgiving.
Calling the chant “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” more than just a slogan, the Prime Minister described it as a sacred oath for every soldier and citizen.
“When Indian soldiers chant it on the battlefield, it sends shivers down the enemy’s spine,” he said, adding that the phrase now echoes through every drone strike and missile launch that crushes enemy fortifications.
PM Modi hailed Operation Sindoor as a landmark moment — a “trinity” of policy, intent, and decisive capability.
He stressed that it was not a routine military action but a bold demonstration of India’s strength, precision, and technological edge.
“India is the land of Buddha and Guru Gobind Singh Ji,” he said, invoking the legacy of courage and righteousness.
“Those who came in secrecy to harm India’s daughters were crushed in their own hideouts,” the Prime Minister declared.
The operation, he confirmed, destroyed nine major terror hubs and eliminated more than 100 terrorists, sending a clear signal to the masterminds behind cross-border attacks.
“Provoking India now leads only to one consequence — total destruction,” the Prime Minister said.
He also added that the Pakistani Army, which had long sheltered terror groups, was now left humiliated and exposed.
PM Modi highlighted how Operation Sindoor was not only a tactical success but a symbol of India’s military integration.
“The Navy secured maritime dominance, the Army reinforced the borders, and the Air Force delivered precise and powerful strikes,” he said.
He praised the Border Security Force (BSF) and other paramilitary units for their outstanding performance, stating that the coordination across all forces was “remarkable” and a new hallmark of India’s military readiness.
He specifically noted the role of India’s air defence systems — including the indigenous Akash and the advanced Russian-made S-400 — which intercepted Pakistani missiles and UAVs.
Pakistan’s failed disinformation campaign, claiming to have destroyed the Adampur base and the S-400 system, was thoroughly debunked when a photograph of PM Modi standing beside the intact S-400 system was released.
This, he said, was India’s silent but firm response to Pakistan’s lies.
PM Modi lauded the armed forces for executing the operation with surgical precision.
Within 25 minutes, Indian jets struck key terrorist bases deep inside Pakistan.
Despite enemy attempts to use civilian aircraft for cover, Indian forces responded with caution, ensuring zero collateral damage.
“That is the power of a professional, technologically advanced force,” he said.
The Prime Minister warned that although India had paused further military action at Pakistan’s request, this restraint should not be mistaken for weakness.
“If provoked again, India will retaliate with full force — on its terms, in its time,” he said, reiterating that India would not differentiate between terrorist leaders and the governments that protect them.
In concluding remarks, PM Modi said the armed forces have not only protected India’s borders but lifted the pride of every Indian. Their bravery, he noted, would be remembered for generations. “This is the new India,” he declared.
“We seek peace, but if humanity is threatened, we will not hesitate to crush our enemies.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a sharp warning to Pakistan and its supported terror groups, declaring that India’s new doctrine on terrorism involves striking at the source, deep inside enemy territory. “Hum ghar mein ghus kar marenge aur bachane ka ek mauka tak nahi denge,” the Prime Minister thundered during his address to air warriors at the Adampur Air Force base in Punjab.
He praised India’s armed forces for their massive response to last week’s Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed by terrorists from a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy. ‘Operation Sindoor’—India’s swift, coordinated military response — targeted nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which was followed by hostilities that saw India repelling Pakistani missile and drone retaliation.
“This is our new normal,” PM Modi said, referring to Operation Sindoor, which he described as India’s first tri-service combat operation since the 1971 war. “India’s ‘Laxman Rekha’ against terrorism is crystal clear now. If another terror attack occurs now, India will give a reply – a solid reply. We saw this during the surgical strike, during the air strike. Now, Operation Sindoor is India’s new normal,” he asserted.
Taking aim at Pakistan’s military support for terror outfits, PM Modi declared: “Jis Pakistani sena ke bharose ye aatanki baithhe the, Bharatiya sena, Bharat ki Air Force aur Bharatiyon ne us Pakistani sena ko bhi dhool chata di hai. (The terrorists who were relying on the Pakistani Army — the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, and the people of India have made that Pakistani Army bite the dust).”
He added that India’s growing military strength should serve as a deterrent. “Our drones, our missiles, just thinking about them will keep Pakistan sleepless for days.”
The Prime Minister used the moment to express deep gratitude to the armed forces. “Every Indian is proud of you… you have written history. I have come for your blessings. You are an inspiration for this and the coming generations. I want to salute the Army, Navy and Air Force.”
“The terrorists dared us… but you hit them front-on. You wiped out their terror bases and killed 100 terrorists. They have now realised that if they try to attack us, the result will be their destruction… massive destruction,” PM Modi said.
The Adampur Air Force base itself was at the centre of the recent military escalation, and also the target of a Pakistani disinformation campaign. Islamabad falsely claimed that its China-made JF-17 jets had destroyed the base and knocked out one of India’s Russian-origin S-400 air defence systems.
India responded by releasing a photograph of PM Modi saluting soldiers at Adampur, with a fully operational S-400 system in the background — silencing claims from across the border and reinforcing India’s military credibility.
As the speech ended with chants of “Bharat Mata ki Jai”, the message was clear: India will no longer tolerate cross-border terrorism and will respond not just in defence, but with pre-emptive precision.
