PM Modi in Parliament says no world leader asked India to stop Operation Sindoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated Centre's claims that Pakistan pleaded for a ceasefire with India and no world leader asked to stop counter-terror operation, Operation Sindoor. Responding to the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, PM added that India had full support from all the countries in the world except three nations.

"We had said from day one that our action was non-escalatory. No leader in the world asked us to stop Operation Sindoor," PM said.

PM Modi's remarks came after Congress repeatedly jabbed him over United States President Donald Trump's claims that he mediated a ceasefie between India and Pakistan. He further said that even though US Vice President JD Vance had called him on May 9, he could not take the call as he was busy holding a meeting.

He added, "On the night of May 9, US Vice President JD Vance tried to talk to me. He tried for an hour, but I was busy in a meeting with the forces. When I called him back, he told me Pakistan was planning a big attack. My answer was that if this is Pakistan's intention, it will have to pay a heavy price."

"If Pakistan attacks, we will respond with a big attack. I said "ham goli ka jawaab gole se denge" (we will reply to a bullet with a cannonball). On May 10, we destroyed Pakistan's military strength. This was our response and our resolve. Even Pakistan



understands now that every reply by India is bigger than the last. It knows that if such a situation arises in the future, India can go to any extent. Let me reiterate in this temple of democracy: Operation Sindoor is still on," he added.

PM also hit out at Congress for lack of support and said, "There has been a lot of discussion on foreign policy and the global support India received after Pahalgam and Op Sindoor... but the truth is no country in the world stopped India from acting to protect itself. In fact, out of 193 countries only three supported Pakistan."

During his address, PM also recalled how Pakistan pleaded for a ceasefire after India's counter-terror operation.

“Pakistan said, 'Bahut maara, ab jyada maar jhelne ki takat nahi hai'. They asked us to stop the war," said the PM.

"Bas karo, bahut maara hai (please stop the attack, you have hit too hard)," PM recalled how Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) pleaded with his Indian counterpart for a ceasefire.

Speaking about Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said, "After Pahalgam, the Pakistani forces anticipated a big response from India. They were giving us nuclear threats. On the night of May 6-7, we conducted an Operation the way we wanted, and Pakistan couldn't do anything. In 22 minutes, we avenged the April 22 attack"
