Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first address to the nation since the terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, applauded the country's armed forces and their action, saying they have ensured that every terrorist now "knows the price of removing the Sindoor of women". Speaking on Day 3 of the ceasefire after four days of hostilities from Pakistan, PM Modi said such Operation Sindoor has created a new normal in India's battle against terror. This, he added, would be the course of action the country will follow, considering any future terror attack on Indian soil "an act of war". "Nuclear blackmail won't work," he added.
