Hoshiarpur- Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the nation, reiterated India's firm policy on the issue of terrorism and gave a strong message to the global community. He made it clear that India will never compromise on its national security and will not succumb to any kind of pressure despite being a nuclear power.
The recent military action — Operation Sindoor — was described by the Prime Minister as "suspended, not ended", indicating that all options are open if India is provoked. He paid emotional tributes to the country's brave soldiers, scientists and martyrs who laid down their lives to protect the country's sovereignty.
Without naming any country, Prime Minister Modi made it clear that the subject of discussion can only and only be Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). His statement came after US President Donald Trump tweeted appealing for a ceasefire and talks on the Kashmir issue.
Sharing his views, senior journalist and academician Sanjeev Kumar said, “The Prime Minister has put a full stop to all the questions and conditions being raised regarding the ceasefire. India's stand is clear—negotiations can never be at the cost of national security.”
This firm and clear stand of the Prime Minister signals the beginning of a new era in India's geopolitical position—a stand that expects respect from the world and gives a clear message: terrorism will be answered with strength, not weakness.
Sanjeev Kumar is a senior journalist and academician. He believes that this address of the Prime Minister will have a far-reaching impact on the national and international scenario.
