PM Modi Announces End of Operation Sindoor, Warns of Future Consequences

In a televised address to the nation on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Indian government has only kept its "operations against Pakistan in abeyance" and that the future course of action depends on the country's behaviour.

Modi said that Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in April, was the "largest success of our anti-terrorism operations in recent years", resulting in the deaths of over 100 dreaded terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The Prime Minister also called the Pahalgam attack "the most barbaric face of terrorism" and said that the enemy has been made aware of the consequences of targeting Indian women by removing the protective "sindoor" from their foreheads.

Operation Sindoor, which began on May 7-8, had escalated bilateral tensions between India and Pakistan, leading to a series of strikes and counter-strikes. However, on Saturday, India and Pakistan reached an agreement to cease all firing and military action on land, air, and sea, effective from 5 pm.

But Pakistan has already violated the ceasefire agreement within hours of it coming into effect. The situation remains tense, with both countries on high alert and ready to reciprocate any further aggression.

As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: India's resolve to combat terrorism stands firm, and Prime Minister Modi's warning to Pakistan suggests that the country will not back down without a fight.
