In addition to vowing Monday to take severe action against any future “terrorist attack,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also issued a warning that New Delhi would not accept “nuclear blackmail” if tensions with Pakistan increased.
Following four days of fierce jetfighter, missile, drone, and artillery attacks the deadliest fighting between the two nuclear-armed neighbours since 1999—a weekend truce that US President Donald Trump claimed to have mediated seemed to be holding on Monday.
In his first broadcast speech to the country since fighting started last Wednesday, Modi said that Pakistan had decided to strike rather than assist it in combating “terrorism.
“If another terrorist attack against India is carried out, a strong response will be given, he stated. Pakistan must destroy its terror infrastructure if it hopes to survive,” Modi stated on Monday. India would launch a targeted and forceful attack on terrorist organisations operating under the guise of nuclear blackmail.
India has an obvious stance. Talking and terror are incompatible… Trade and terror are incompatible. Blood and water cannot flow in tandem. Following the Indian army’s announcement of the “first calm night in recent days in disputed Kashmir and along its western border with Pakistan,” he gave his speech.
