Enough is enough, now blood and water will not flow together. This speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in the context of the military action taken by India after the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

The Prime Minister also mentioned the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 with Pakistan, which was recently suspended by India in April 2025. This tough action by India was a symbol of its strategic stance.

Referring to Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi saluted the indomitable courage and determination of the Indian Army. This not only boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Indian Army but also strengthened the sense of national pride of 140 crore citizens of the whole of India.
