"पक्ष-विपक्ष को साथ में लेकर पूरी बाजी हाथ में लेकर सेना पूरे बल से लड़ी हो बस दो कदम पे जीत खड़ी हो लेकिन जब मौका आ जाए

तभी अचानक रुकना नहीं था| अरे नरेंदर, झुकना नहीं था ! पाकिस्तान को काट दिया था दो टुकड़ों में बाँट दिया था तब भी अमरीका आया था मुझको भी डर दिखलाया था मैंने उनकी एक ना मानी मेरे खून में रुकना नहीं था अरे नरेंदर, झुकना नहीं था! युद्ध विराम कराने वाला या हमको धमकाने वाला अमरीका होता ही कौन है कायर वही जो रहे मौन है तुमको भी डोनाल्ड मित्र से डरना नहीं था, रुकना नहीं था| अरे नरेंदर, झुकना नहीं था! (The army should fight with full force by taking the sides and the opposition together and win in just two steps, but when the opportunity comes. He didn't have to stop suddenly. Hey Narendra, didn't have to bow down! Pakistan was cut into two pieces, even then America came, I was also scared, I did not accept one of their denials, my blood did not stop. Hey Narendra, didn't have to bow down! Who is America to make a ceasefire or threaten us, the cowardly ones who remain silent, you also did not have to be afraid of Donald Friend, did not have to stop
Hey Narendra, didn't have to bow down!" said the post, in which the then PM Indira Gandhi is seen talking to PM Narendra Modi.



Foreign Secretary briefs all parties on Operation Sindoor:
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday briefed Members of Parliament and delegation members at a meeting held in the Parliament building, ahead of their visits to various countries to highlight India's fight against terrorism in the wake of Operation Sindoor.
Seven all-party delegations are visiting key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council, in the context of Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism.

The delegations are led by Congress member Shashi Tharoor, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda, JD-U's Sanjay Kumar Jha, DMK's Kanimozhi Karunanidhi and (NCP-SP) leader Supriya Sule.

Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde that members from three groups - led by him, Kanimozi and Sanjay Kumar Jha were present at Tuesday's briefing.

Shinde said their group will leave for the UAE and West Africa tomorrow.

"Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, all seven delegations are leaving for different countries to put forward our country's stand. MEA did a country-wise briefing for all the groups today and gave anecdotes of previous terrorist attacks on India. This briefing will prove to be useful for our visits... We will sensitise other countries on what India has been facing at the hands of Pakistan and terror over the years... MEA will provide dossiers to every group," he told media persons later.

Congress leader Salman Khurshid said there was no mediation in India and Pakistan reaching an understanding on stopping military action.

"(It was briefed that) there was no interference by anyone (in understanding between India and Pakistan), there was no mediation. But when such things happen in the worlds different people try to send a message. But whatever has happened, has happened only between the two nations. When the matter escalated, it was between our two nations. When it ended, it ended between the two nations. It was initiated by the Pakistan DGMO, they said that we should end this. We said that it should be done if they are ready," he said.

India carried out Operation Sindoor and carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Indian Armed Forces effectively responded to subsequent Pakistan aggression and pounded its airbases.
