Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said 'Sindoor' which symbolises feminine strength in the Indian culture and traditions has now become a symbol of India's valour.

“Operation Sindoor stands as a testament to the strength and valour of India’s Nari Shakti,” the Prime Minister said while addressing the Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan here, an official statement said.

“India is a land of deep-rooted culture and traditions, where sindoor symbolises feminine strength,” emphasised Modi, mentioning that "even Lord Hanuman, immersed in devotion of Lord Ram, adorned himself with Sindoor, and it is offered in Shakti puja rituals. Sindoor has now become a symbol of India's valour.”

Referring to the attack in Pahalgam, PM Modi said that the terrorists not only shed the blood of Indians but also struck at the nation’s cultural ethos and attempted to divide society. Most significantly, they challenged India's Nari Shakti and this challenge proved fatal for the terrorists and their handlers.

Successful Counter-Terrorism Operation

“Operation Sindoor is India's largest and most successful counter-terrorism operation in history,” the PM emphasised, highlighting that Indian armed forces dismantled terrorist bases at locations where Pakistan’s forces had never anticipated action.

He remarked that Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message that proxy wars through terrorism will not be tolerated.

He said that India will not only eliminate threats within its territory but will also ensure that a heavy price is paid by those supporting terrorists, and added, “Every Indian now echoes the same sentiment - if you fire bullets, you will face artillery shells”.

“Operation Sindoor stands as a testament to the strength and valour of India’s Nari Shakti,” Modi asserted.

He highlighted the crucial role played by the Border Security Force (BSF) in this operation, noting that from Jammu to Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, a significant number of BSF women personnel were at the frontlines.

He commended their resolute response to cross-border firing and their active participation in command and control centres, as well as in eliminating enemy positions.

Modi said the world is witnessing the capability of India’s daughters in national defence. Over the past decade, the government has undertaken several measures to strengthen women's role in security forces.

“The doors of Sainik Schools have been opened for girls, marking a historic step. In 2014, only 25 percent of National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets were female, whereas today, their participation is increasing towards 50 percent,” Modi said.
