'New India not scared of nuclear threats from anyone,' PM Modi warns Pakistan

PM Modi on Tuesday declared that India is no longer intimidated by nuclear threats from across the border, asserting that the country now “enters homes and strikes back” against terrorism.

"The nation gives utmost priority to the security of Mother India. Pakistani terrorists removed the Sindoor of our sisters and daughters. We did Operation Sindoor and destroyed terror camps. Our brave armed forces brought Pakistan to its knees within the blink of an eye. Just yesterday, the nation and the world witnessed another Pakistani terrorist tearfully narrate his ordeal," he said while addressing a public gathering in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh.

"This is a new India. It fears no one's nuclear threats," PM Modi added.

In his speech, the BJP supremo also marked the contributions of the Indian Army for Hyderabad's Liberation Day as a symbol of unity for the nation.

“Today, September 17, is another historic day. On this day, the nation saw the iron-strong will of Sardar Patel. The Indian army liberated Hyderabad and protected its rights. Decades passed, but no one celebrated this achievement. But our government made this event immortal. We started celebrating this day as Hyderabad Liberation Day," he added.

On his 75th birthday, the prime minister visited Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh to kickstart a series of development initiatives.

The development projects span a wide range of sectors such as health, nutrition, women’s welfare, and industrial growth. He launched the Swasth Nari–Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan and the 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah Campaign to strengthen maternal and child healthcare, and directly transferred benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana to nearly 10 lakh women.

The prime minister also inaugurated the Aadi Seva Parv to expand welfare services in tribal areas. A key highlight was the foundation stone of India’s first PM MITRA Park in Bhainsola village, a 2,150-acre textile hub aligned with his 5F Vision, which has already drawn investment commitments worth over Rs 23,000 crore and is expected to generate around 3 lakh jobs while boosting cotton farmers’ income and India’s textile exports.
