Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu said the PM’s address has shaped India’s new doctrine.
“His address was a stern warning to Pakistan-sponsored terrorists and a clear message of strength to the world. It’s Buddha Purnima today, and we remember the path to peace. But, as history teaches us, lasting peace is secured through strength. We walk the path to peace, but we also practice Zero Tolerance towards terrorism,” he said in a post on X.
Naidu also referred to the Made-in-India defence technology and said it has shown “our readiness for modern warfare to protect our nation, making every Indian proud”.
Union minister and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader, Chirag Paswan also hailed the prime minister’s address.
“The Prime Minister has also made it clear that if there will be any talks with Pakistan in the future, then the talks will be only on terrorism and POK… India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will launch a precise and decisive attack on the terrorist bases flourishing under the guise of nuclear blackmail,” he said in a post on X.
Starting today, the state units of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organise a 10 day Tiranga Yatra across the country to publicise the achievements of the armed forces that carried out the military operations against terror camps in Pakistan.
The party will organise a massive outreach program giving details of the losses that were inflicted on terrorist networks and how their bases were destroyed.
