Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said here that India has made it clear with Operation Sindoor that Pakistan will pay a hefty price for terror attacks, particularly its economy and armed forces.
“Now, hot sindoor (vermillion), not blood, flows in Modi’s veins,” he said, adding there will be no talks with Pakistan on trade, but only on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. “And if Pakistan does not stop exporting terrorists, it would face economic ruin to the last penny. India won’t allow Pakistan access to our rightful share of water. Playing with Indian blood will come at a steep cost. This resolve is India's commitment, one that no force in the world can shake,” the PM said.
