Did Congress Fail to Recognize India's Strength? PM Modi's Bold Address in Lok Sabha

New Delhi, July 29 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, ardently defending Operation Sindoor as a pivotal and historic counter-terror operation that not only dismantled terror infrastructure based in Pakistan but also unveiled the political opportunism of the Opposition.

Taking the floor to discuss Operation Sindoor, PM Modi proclaimed, “I stand here to present Bharat’s stance.” He elaborated on how Indian forces penetrated deep within Pakistan to obliterate terror camps, asserting that “for the first time, India’s strategy extended into territories we had never reached before — we dismantled terror networks right inside Pakistan.”

The Prime Minister underscored the Pahalgam massacre on April 22, where terrorists coldly executed innocent civilians after inquiring about their religion, describing it as a calculated maneuver to incite communal discord and undermine national unity. “But the strength of Indian unity thwarted that conspiracy,” he declared.

With a pointed critique aimed at Congress, PM Modi denounced the Opposition's response following the Pahalgam attack. “They were celebrating prematurely, believing they had scored a political point by questioning, ‘Where is 56-inch Modi now?’ They were mocking, laughing, and politicizing the blood of innocents,” he asserted.

“Congress was not seeking justice; they were seeking headlines,” he remarked, emphasizing that such rhetoric was demoralizing to the armed forces. “Their statements revealed sheer pettiness. They lack trust in the Army’s strength and in India’s capabilities.”

Touching on the global perspective, PM Modi highlighted that 193 countries observed India's actions, and only three aligned with Pakistan. “From Sindoor to Sindhu, the world witnessed India’s determination,” he affirmed.

He revealed that following extensive damage to Pakistan’s infrastructure, its military leadership requested India’s DGMO to halt the operation, leading to a temporary pause of Operation Sindoor on May 10. “It was not concluded—just paused. If Pakistan misbehaves again, it will resume with even greater force,” he warned.

PM Modi expressed disappointment that some opposition figures chose to amplify Pakistan's propaganda instead of trusting the evidence provided by Indian forces. “Our Army presented the facts, but some within this country opted to disseminate enemy lies.” He concluded by stating that while Congress might win headlines with such politics, they will never capture the hearts of the Indian populace.
