Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, in an address to the nation, said Operation Sindoor, India’s counterstrike in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, is the country’s policy against terror and has not been suspended yet. The Prime Minister said India is keeping a close watch on Pakistan and its actions.
The Prime Minister, speaking just days after a ceasefire was announced between the two nations, said terror and talk cannot take place together; terror and trade cannot go together; and water and blood also cannot flow together.
He further stressed that this is not an ear of war, but it is also not an era of terrorism.
