Modi said that India would first give a befitting response to a terrorist attack on its terms and take strict action at every place from where the roots of terrorism emerge

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday issued a stern warning to Pakistan in his first public address since Operation Sindoor, asserting that India has only "paused" military action and will retaliate on its own terms if another terror attack occurs.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that while Pakistan had planned to ignite war at the borders, India responded by striking at the very heart of the terror network through Operation Sindoor.
