PM Modi warns against Nuclear blackmail, says over 100 terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor
New Delhi, May 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a firm and emotionally charged address to the nation, made it clear that India will no longer tolerate any form of nuclear blackmail or cross-border terrorism. He said that any terrorist attack on Indian soil would be met with a strong and decisive response — and that response would be on India’s terms.
Speaking about the recent counter-terror operation, Operation Sindoor, carried out in retaliation to the Pahalgam attack, the Prime Minister said that India had sent a strong message to its enemies. “When Indian missiles and drones attacked those sites in Pakistan, it was not just the buildings of the terrorist organisations that were destroyed, but their courage also collapsed,” he said.
He named Bhawalpur and Muridke in Pakistan as long-standing breeding grounds of global terrorism. “These terrorist sites have functioned like universities of terrorism. Whether it was 9/11 in the United States or major terror attacks in India, these places have had direct or indirect links to all of them,” Modi noted.
Strongly condemning the support these terrorist elements receive from within Pakistan, the Prime Minister highlighted a disturbing reality. “The world has now witnessed the dirty truth of Pakistan, when senior officers of its army were seen bidding farewell to the terrorists who were killed. There is no clearer proof of state-sponsored terrorism,” he stated.
Referring to the motivation behind the military response, Modi said, “The terrorists had targeted our sisters and daughters in Pahalgam. That’s why India decided to strike at the very heart of terrorism. Over 100 terrorists have been eliminated in Operation Sindoor.”
He ended his address with a powerful message that India will not be bullied or threatened. “No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore. Those who attempt to hurt India will have to face the consequences, and the response will come at a time and place of our choosing.”

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
