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.”

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
