Op Sindoor: Those who attack India will not survive even in 'paatal lok', says Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took a jibe at Congress and Samajwadi Party for raising questions over Operation Sindoor and alleged that they could not handle the pain Pakistan is going through and are "crying along with them."

Addressing a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi, he said, "Everyone understands that Pakistan is upset. But Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) cannot handle the pain that Pakistan is going through. There, the Aaka (masters) of the terrorists are crying, and here, Congress and SP are crying, seeing the condition of terrorists."

On his first visit to Varanasi following the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April, PM Modi said that those who attack India "will not survive even in 'paatal lok' (hell)".


Slamming Congress for MP Praniti Shinde's 'tamasha' remark for Operation Sindoor, he said that the party insults the valour of the Indian armed forces.

"Congress is constantly insulting the valour of our forces. Congress has called Operation Sindoor a 'tamasha'... They dared to refer to our forces' valour and sisters' sindoor as 'tamasha', this is shamelessness," the Prime Minister said.

Hitting back at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav who raised questions on the timing of 'Operation Mahadev', PM Modi termed it as vote bank politics.

"In this politics of vote bank and appeasement, the Samajwadi Party is no less. Their leaders in Parliament were questioning why the Pahalgam terrorists were killed on this particular day. Should I telephone them and ask them before taking any action? Anyone with common sense should be able to answer, do we need to wait to kill terrorists? Should we have given them a chance to flee?"

PM Modi further alleged that the SP gave a clean chit to terrorists when it was in power.

"They are the same people who would give a clean chit to terrorists when they were in power in UP, and now they are upset when terrorists are killed. They have a problem with the name of the operation as Sindoor," PM Modi said.

Prime Minister Modi hailed Operation Sindoor and said that he avenged the loss of the Pahalgam terror attack with the blessings of Lord Mahadev.

Addressing a public meeting, PM Modi dedicated the success of Operation Sindoor to Lord Mahadev.

The Prime Minister said, "This is the first time I have come to Kashi after Operation Sindoor. 26 innocent civilians were mercilessly killed by terrorists in Pahalgam... My heart was full of sorrow. I had pledged to take revenge for my daughters' sindoor, and I fulfilled it with the blessings of Mahadev. I dedicate the success of Operation Sindoor to the feet of Mahadev."

He assured that anyone messing with India will not be spared.

PM Modi said, "When there is injustice and terror in front, Mahadev adorns his 'Rudra roop'. The world saw this face of India during Operation Sindoor. Anyone who messes with India will not be spared even in 'pataal lok'."

Indian armed forces carried out Operation Sindoor on May 7 to avenge the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 people.
