Operation Sindoor was launched to ensure that such terrorists, who wipe off the sacred Sindoor from women’s foreheads, are given a befitting response. I salute our armed forces who are fighting terrorism. I bow to the jawans who are protecting the nation under the harshest conditions. Because of their struggle, we are safe. Our nation’s pride, strength, and might lie in our armed forces. The defense forces have fought in a way that terrorists will not dare to target our country again. Not just Andhra Pradesh, the entire country is proud of our soldiers. The sight of the national flag fills us all with energy, emotion, and patriotism. It is a matter of pride for us all that Pingali Venkayya Garu, the designer of the national flag, hailed from this region, said the Chief Minister. Prime Minister Modi’s Relentless Fight Against Terrorism At the right time, our country found a capable leader in Prime Minister Modi. Terrorism is a menace gripping the world. We never initiate wars with other countries, but if provoked, we will deliver a strong response. Prime Minister Modi is waging a relentless war against terrorism. He is determined to eliminate terrorists wherever they are hiding in the world. Operation Sindoor has sent shockwaves through enemy nations. If they come to our country in the form of extremists, that will be their end. Our nation is progressing not just in defense, but as an economic power as well. No conspiracies, tactics, or envy can harm our country. By 2047, India will rank first or second in the world. For the nation’s security and integrity, we must all walk in unity. Let us move forward with the inspiration of Murali Naik, who gave his life for the country, he added.
