Modi on Pakistan's Terror Strategy

Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing an urban development initiative by the Gujarat Government, stated that Pakistan's activities involving terrorism should not be categorized as mere proxy warfare but as a calculated war strategy. India is prepared to respond effectively, he added.

Modi pointed out that Pakistan's involvement in terrorism is essentially a method of waging war, as evidenced by actions following India's Operation Sindoor striking terror bases in Pakistan on May 6.

"We cannot term this conflict as a proxy war," Modi declared, highlighting that those killed in the operation received state honors, complete with Pakistani flags and military salutes at their funerals.

"Their actions underline that these terrorist acts are not merely proxy tactics but a strategic war approach, and India will respond appropriately," he affirmed.

Recollecting past conflicts, Modi noted that in every direct confrontation between India and Pakistan, the Indian armed forces emerged victorious, leaving a lasting impression on Pakistan.

Realizing their inability to succeed in direct wars, he claimed, Pakistan resorted to proxy warfare, investing in training and equipping terrorists.

"As enduring as one's health may be, a singular thorn can incessantly cause discomfort," Modi explained, indicating that India is resolute in eradicating this persistent threat.

Reflecting on the partition of India, he noted, “When Maa Bharati was divided, it also resulted in the first terror attack on Kashmir by the Mujahideen.”

Modi underscored that Pakistan, leveraging these terror entities labeled as Mujahideen, ended up annexing parts of Kashmir.

"Had decisive action been taken against these Mujahideen on that day, and if Sardar Patel's counsel had been heeded, the enduring cycle of terror could have been prevented," he concluded.
