Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn’t mince words when he talked about Pakistan and terrorism recently. Speaking at an event focused on Gujarat’s development, he made it crystal clear what he thinks about Pakistan’s approach to dealing with India.
“Let’s call it what it is,” Modi essentially said. “Pakistan isn’t running some secret terrorist operation behind closed doors. This is their official war strategy, plain and simple.”
What really seemed to get under his skin was how Pakistan treated the militants who were recently killed in Indian operations. He pointed out that these fighters weren’t just quietly buried – they were given full military honors, complete with salutes and national flags draped over their bodies.
“When you see a country giving state funerals to terrorists, you know this isn’t some rogue group acting alone. This is government policy,” Modi explained.
The Prime Minister took a trip down memory lane, reminding everyone that India has historically had the upper hand in direct military confrontations with Pakistan. His take? Pakistan got tired of losing conventional wars and decided to switch tactics.
“After getting defeated time and again on the battlefield, they thought, ‘Why not try a different approach?’ So they started training and funding militants, hoping to tear us apart from the inside,” he said.
Modi used a simple but powerful comparison to make his point: “Even the strongest, healthiest body can be troubled by a single thorn. Well, we’ve decided that thorn needs to come out.”
But he didn’t stop there. Modi went all the way back to India’s partition, claiming that Pakistan’s terror tactics started from day one. According to him, the very night India was divided, the first terrorist attack on Kashmir took place.
“They grabbed part of our land using these so-called Mujahideen fighters,” he said, clearly still frustrated about events from decades ago.In a moment that seemed almost wistful, Modi suggested that if India’s leaders had listened to Sardar Patel back then, the country might have been spared years of violence and bloodshed.
The message was unmistakable: India knows exactly what Pakistan is doing, they’re not buying the “plausible deniability” act, and they’re prepared to respond accordingly.
