‘Military attacked 100 km inside Pakistan’: Amit Shah praises PM Modi, Army | WATCH

Gandhinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday inaugurated a newly constructed primary health centre at Pethapur in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Speaking at the event, Shah commended India’s military strength and the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in dealing with cross-border terrorism.

Reflecting on India's strong counter-terror actions, Shah said the armed forces carried out strikes deep inside Pakistan for the first time since independence.

Shah said, “This has happened for the first time after independence, that our military attacked 100 km inside Pakistan and destroyed terrorist camps. Those who used to threaten us that they have atom bombs thought we would be scared. But our Army, Navy and Air Force have given them such a befitting reply that the entire world is praising the patience of our military and the determined leadership of PM Modi. I salute the valour of our armed forces."

He highlighted India's improved air defence capabilities, claiming that none of Pakistan’s missiles or drones could breach Indian territory during the most recent conflict.

"When Pakistan dared to attack the entire Western border, but under the leadership of PM Modi, our air defence system has become so perfect that none of the missiles or drones reached India's land. After killing more than 100 dreadful terrorists, Pakistan was still thinking, and we attacked their 15 air bases, but we didn't inflict any harm on their people. We destroyed their capability of air attack", Shah said.

Referring to a major operation against terror infrastructure, Shah said India's response had left Pakistan shaken and earned praise from across the world.

Shah further added, "Since assuming power, PM Modi has given such a befitting reply to the terrorist attacks that the world is amazed and Pakistan is scared. This time, under Operation Sindoor, the headquarters of the terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan were destroyed. We destroyed 9 such sites where terrorists used to be trained and were their hideouts".
