The nation is indebted to our soldiers, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his speech at the Adampur Air Base. Addressing the air warriors, earlier this morning PM Modi said, "I salute every Jawan from Army, Navy, Airforce and BSF Jawans from this stage."
The IAF has "scripted history", he said. "Because of your valour and strength, Operation Sindoor was a success," Modi added.
When our forces stand firm against nuclear blackmail, the resounding cry of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' echoes with unshakable resolve.
Modi warned that if Pakistan attempts another attack, our response will be decisive—on our terms, in our own way. "This is new India, we want peace, but if humanity is attacked, this new India knows how to destroy enemies as well," he said.
"Bharat Mata ki Jai is the resolve of every soldier who is ready to sacrifice their lives for the country. It is the voice of every citizen who wants to live for the country and do something for the country."
Modi noted that India is a country of Gautam Buddha, as well as Guru Govind Singh. "We destroyed 9 terrorist centers and killed 100 terrorists. They now know the consequence of attacking India," he said.
"Operation Sindoor is not a normal military exercise. Our forces proved that we will enter the house of the terrorist and destroy them," Modi said.

The Prime Minister praised the three forces. "Army secured borders, Navy safeguarded our seas, and Air Force struck with precision while defending our skies."
"Operation Sindoor was a triumph of human skill and technological prowess. The world too has understood and appreciated India's stance," he said.
The seamless synergy between forces and advanced machinery ensured success, with S-400 system providing stability, Modi said. "We have cutting edge technology that Pak cannot compete with."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to the Adampur air base in Punjab on Tuesday morning and interacted with air force personnel. Modi shared the news of his visit on his social media handle.
"Earlier this morning, I went to AFS Adampur and met our brave air warriors and soldiers. It was a very special experience to be with those who epitomise courage, determination and fearlessness. India is eternally grateful to our armed forces for everything they do for our nation," Modi wrote on his X profile.
Modi's visit comes after days of intense conflict between India and Pakistan following Indian strikes in terror sites in the neighbouring country on May 7 under Operarion Sindoor.
India and Pakistan agreed on May 10 to stop military actions. However in his address to the nation last night, PM Modi has made it clear it India has merely paused its operation and its actions will be guided by Pakistan's approach and conduct.
