Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said ‘Operation Sindoor’ was far from over and warned that India would continue to exact a heavy price on those who sponsor terrorism, asserting that Pakistan has already been hit “three times inside its home.”
While addressing his first rally in West Bengal since the launch of ‘Operation Sindoor’ earlier this month, the PM invoked the region’s deep cultural and emotional connection with ‘sindoor’, referring to the traditional ritual of ‘Sindoor Khela’ observed by Bengali women during Durga Puja.
“Now that I am standing on the sacred land of ‘Sindoor Khela’, it is only right that we speak about a new resolve against terrorism ‘Operation Sindoor’,” Modi said to loud cheers.

He added, “On April 22, the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam shook the nation. The pain and anger felt across West Bengal were deeply understood. I could feel your outrage. The terrorists dared to wipe off ‘sindoor’ from the foreheads of our sisters. But our brave soldiers made them realise the power of that sindoor’.”
“From this land of Bengal, I, on behalf of 140 crore Indians, declare that ‘Operation Sindoor’ is not over yet,” Modi said.
