India won’t tolerate nuclear blackmail – Modi

The Indian PM says New Delhi will act decisively against terrorism and will not differentiate between “terrorists and their state sponsors”

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed on Monday to deliver a “befitting response” to terrorism, stating that New Delhi could also resort to military action if threatened by a nuclear power – in a veiled reference to its neighbor, Pakistan.

In his first public address to the nation days after New Delhi launched Operation Sindoor against targets in Pakistan, which it accused of supporting cross-border terrorism – a claim Islamabad denies – Modi highlighted the change in New Delhi’s security policy.  

“Operation Sindoor is India’s policy against terrorism. Operation Sindoor has carved out a new benchmark in our fight against terrorism and has set up a new parameter and new normal,” he said, adding that India will not differentiate between “terrorists and their state sponsors.” 

“We will give a befitting response on our terms only. We will take strict action at every place from where the roots of terrorism emerge,” he vowed.

Modi went on to say that “no nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore.”
