Prime also lauded the bravery and strategic might of the Indian armed forces, declaring that they busted the myth of Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail under ‘Operation Sindoor’.

PM Modi said that when “our armed forces take the wind out of nuclear blackmail, our enemies understand the importance of Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.

“When our drones destroy the walls of the enemy’s fort, when our missiles reach the target with a whizzing sound, the enemy hears Bharat Mata Ki Jai. When we light up the sun even at night, the enemy sees Bharat Mata Ki Jai. When our armies blow away the threat of nuclear blackmail, then only one thing resonates from the sky - Bharat Mata Ki Jai. All of you have made millions of Indians proud, have made every Indian’s mother proud, you have created history, and I have come among you this morning to see you…,” he said.

PM Modi travelled to the Adampur air base in Punjab on Tuesday morning and interacted with air force personnel, who have been in the thick of action during the recent conflict with Pakistan.

The prime minister’s visit comes after days of intense conflict between India and Pakistan following Indian strikes on terror sites in the neighbouring country on May 7 under Operation Sindoor.
