Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that Operation Sindoor is ongoing and warned that any future terror attack on India will trigger an even harsher response.

Speaking at a rally in Alipurduar, West Bengal, Modi said, “We struck thrice on enemy soil after the Pahalgam terror attack. If attacked again, they’ll pay a bigger price.” He added that the Indian Armed Forces crushed terror bases in Pakistan and PoK following the April 22 massacre of tourists.

The Prime Minister criticized Pakistan’s history of exporting terror and said its army uses terrorism to avoid direct conflict with India. He also stressed Bengal’s importance to India’s progress, highlighting recent Union investments in the state.
