NANDED: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the success of Operation Sindoor has sent the message to not just Pakistan but also the world that no one can mess with India\u2019s armed forces, its people and borders.
\nHe was addressing a \u2018Shankhnaad\u2019 rally in Maharashtra\u2019s Nanded.
\n\u201cOperation Sindoor has sent the message to not just Pakistan but also the world that no one can mess with our armed forces, people and borders. Else, the perpetrators will have to face consequences,\u201d Shah said.
\nCalling the Pahalgham attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists cowardly, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in Patna that the perpetrators would be tracked from wherever they are hiding.
\n\u201cPakistan forgot that 11 years ago, there was a Congress government, which has now changed. We responded to the Uri, Pulwana and Pahalgham strikes and struck terror bases,\u201d he said.
\nReferring to Operation Sindoor, Shah said that on May 7, nine terror camps were destroyed in 22 minutes, while India\u2019s air defence system ensured that Pakistan\u2019s missiles and drones did not touch the country\u2019s soil.
\nOn May 9, Pakistan\u2019s air defence system was destroyed by Indian armed forces, he said.
\n\u201cModiji has declared that there would be retaliation if the blood of innocent Indian civilians is shed. If our women\u2019s sindoor is harmed, the response will be bloodier,\u201d he said, adding that Operation Sindoor proved the government\u2019s commitment to protecting India\u2019s borders.
\nShah also reiterated that Naxalism would be wiped out from the country by March 31, 2026.
\n\u201cWhen Operation Sindoor was underway, under Operation Black Forest by CRPF, Chhattisgarh police and BSF neutralised several Naxalites. Several Naxalites were also arrested and many surrendered,\u201d he said.
\nThe Union Home Minister said Modi had ended the Indus Water Treaty, which was signed by former PM Jawaharlal Nehru, and also all trade with Pakistan. \u201cModi has said trade and terror cannot go together,\u201d he said.
\nShah slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), saying it had mocked the all-party delegations as \u201cbaraat\u201d (wedding party).
\n\u201cHad Balasaheb Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Modi. But a Sena (UBT) leader called the delegations a baraat. I don\u2019t know what has happened to the Uddhav Sena. They are calling the delegations a baraat even though their own members are a part of it,\u201d he said.
\nShah also criticised Sharad Pawar for doing \u201cnothing\u201d over the demand for classical language status to Marathi, which he said was fulfilled by Modi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
