Narendra Modi Highlights India’s Response to Pahalgam Attack

Highlighting India’s determination, Modi recalled that the Pahalgam terror strike had direct links with Pakistan-based outfits. India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These strikes neutralized several key bases, leading to a brief conflict involving drones and missiles between both nations. The clashes lasted four days before Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations approached India seeking a pause in hostilities. Modi stressed that the response demonstrated India’s firm resolve against terrorism and its sponsors.

India’s Stand and SCO’s Role

Modi reaffirmed that India has consistently fought global terror groups like Al-Qaeda and stood against terror-financing. He urged the SCO to play a stronger role in promoting regional stability and international peace. He also thanked friendly nations that supported India during challenging times, reiterating that unity is essential for defeating terrorism. Modi underlined that SCO must enhance cooperation among its member states to eliminate terror networks and ensure long-term security.
