PM Modi Calls Jaishankar’s Speech on Operation Sindoor ‘Outstanding’, Highlights Global Support

New Delhi (India) July 29: During the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praises the remarks made by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar underlines that India had set specific, well-defined goals for Operation Sindoor.

He said, “We wanted to send a strong message to the terrorists and to Pakistan that continued support for terrorism will not be tolerated. On the morning of May 7, that message was delivered loud and clear. It was important to send a clear, strong and resolute message after the Pahalgam attack. Our red lines had been crossed. and we had to make it very apparent that there would be serious consequences as a result."

Jaishankar says only 3 nations opposed India

Jaishankar also added, "out of the 193 members of UN only three apart from Pakistan opposed operation Sindoor.”

Prime Minister Modi shares Jaishankar's speech on social media platform X. He calls the speech ‘outstanding’.

He posted, “India's foreign policy has united the entire world against terrorism in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor. Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar ji spoke in detail about this in the Lok Sabha.”

Quad and BRICS back India on terror attack

S. Jaishankar clarifies in Parliament the remarks made by international organisations such as the Quad and BRICS after the attack. The organisations denounces the act of terrorism. 

According to Jaishankar, the Quad states that it “unequivocally condemns all acts of terrorism or violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism.”

Jaishankar adds that countering cross-border terrorism coming from Pakistan has become a "new normal". It is a result of India's military reaction to the Pahalgam incident. According to him, this involves avoiding nuclear blackmail and limiting bilateral discussions to terrorism.

Jaishankar denies Trump’s mediation claims

The EAM says during the debate that US Vice President JD Vance had called Prime Minister Modi. He warns of a huge attack from Pakistan. Modi responded, "There will be an appropriate response if such an attack happens."

The US's claims of mediation were also denied by the External Affairs Minister. He stated that Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi had not discussed the matter.

Jaishankar said, “I want to make two things very clear. One, at no stage in any conversation with the United States was there any linkage with trade and what was going on. Secondly, there was no call between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump from the 22nd of April when President Trump called up to convey his sympathy and the 17th of June, when he called up Prime Minister Modi in Canada to explain why he could not meet.”

The minister’s comments come after multiple claims by President Trump that he convinced Delhi and Islamabad into ending the conflict.

EAM criticises opposition’s weak response

Jaishankar took advantage of the moment to attack the opposition and charge earlier administrations of failing to fight terrorism.

He said, “When did you ever consider such a decisive response during your time in power? In fact, you ruled it out for 26 years.”

On May 7, India began Operation Sindoor as a direct reaction to the Pahalgam terror assault on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. Tensions with Pakistan sharply increased as a result of the military attacks.
