AHMEDABAD, MAY 18
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for various development projects worth over Rs 1,550 crore of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) here on Sunday in the presence of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said, “After the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised the people of the country in Bihar that the Indian Armed Forces would destroy the terrorist hideouts. Prime Minister Modi’s strong political will, the valour of the Army, the accurate information of our intelligence agencies and the firepower of the Army attacked nine locations in Pakistan and destroyed the terrorist hideouts. The Modi government has given a befitting reply to the terrorists by first carrying out surgical strikes, then airstrikes and now by eliminating the terrorists who wiped off the vermillion from the foreheads of the women of our country.”

He added that Operation Sindoor has answered many types of issues at once. He said that Pakistan used to tell the whole world that there are no terrorists and terrorist activities in our country. But when our missile fell there under Operation Sindoor and the terrorists were wiped out, Pakistan was exposed in front of the whole world. He said that when senior officials of the Pakistani Army were present at the funeral of the terrorists, the nexus of the Pakistani Army, Pakistan and terrorism was exposed before the whole world and the whole world came to know that there are terrorist bases in Pakistan.
Amit Shah said that the first two surgical and air strikes were limited to PoK, but Operation Sindoor has eliminated terrorists up to 100 km inside Pakistan. He said that after Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Modi made it clear in his address to the country that the water of Sindhu and blood cannot flow simultaneously. He said that PM Modi has told that if terrorism is not stopped, not even a drop of water of the Sindhu river will be made available, trade and terrorism cannot go on together and if terrorism is provided shelter, then all trade will have to be stopped. Shri Shah said that Prime Minister Modi has also made it clear to the whole world that we are ready for talks with Pakistan, but the talks will be for taking back Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and ending terrorism. He said that today 140 crore countrymen are saluting and praising the bravery of our armed forces, the accuracy of our intelligence agencies and the strong political will of Prime Minister Modi. He said that the way Modi Ji has responded to terrorism that has been going on for decades is a matter of pride for us as he is a son of Gujarat.
Union Home Minister said that Prime Minister Modi has pledged to make India the best country in the world in every field by 2047. He said that in the last 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has not only laid a strong foundation for India’s development, but has also created a new history of the country’s security, the readiness and equipping of our forces and the protection of borders. He said that our Brahmos missiles destroyed Pakistan’s airbases. Shah said that the brave soldiers of the Indian Army have eliminated the hideouts of Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar and many terrorists who were taking refuge in Pakistan and for this, the whole country bows down to the Jawans of our armed forces. He said that whenever the history of protecting the security of the country and its borders will be written, the name of Operation Sindoor will be written in golden letters.
