Speaking during the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had delivered a strong and clear message to Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. Referring to Modi's speech on April 24, Panchayati Raj Diwas, in Madhubani, Bihar, Singh said the PM used English so the world would understand that India will not bow down to terrorism. Singh said, "It was Panchayati Raj Diwas on 24th April, when PM Modi went to address Panchayat representatives in Madhubani. There, PM Modi spoke for the first time on the Pahalgam incident, and he said that Pakistan will get a reply beyond their imagination. PM Modi gave his speech in English because he wanted the world to know that we are not going to bow down in front of terrorists and we will fight back."
