Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that India has shown its strength by giving a strong reply not only to terrorists but also to the Pakistani army that backs them. 

Addressing the air warriors in Adampur airbase in Punjab, PM Modi said, “Jis Pakistani sena ke bharose ye aatanki baithhe the, Bharatiya sena, Bharat ki Air Force aur Bharatiyon ne us Pakistani sena ko bhi dhool chata di hai. (The terrorists relies on the Pakistani Army... the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, and Indians have made that Pakistani Army bite the dust.)"

He further hailed the Armed Forces, saying that they have also "shown the Pakistani military that there is no place left in Pakistan where terrorists can sit and breathe in peace."

Reiterating India’s aggressive policy on cross-border terrorism, the Prime Minister said, “Hum ghar mein ghuskar marenge aur bachane ka ek mauka tak nahi denge. (We will enter their homes and strike, and we won’t even give them a chance to escape.)"
