Prime Minister Modi had said that it is my good fortune that the heroic mothers of the 1971 battle came here and blessed me and also presented a plant of vermilion tree. Let us tell you that in the 1971 war, the runway of the Indian Air Force was destroyed in the bombing by Pakistani Air Force. After this, the women of Kutch had prepared the runway in just 72 hours, regardless of their lives. This helped the Indian Air Force a lot.

Modi gave Bhuj to Pakistan, giving an ultimatum to Pakistan and said that live life, eat bread, otherwise I have a bullet. Our policy is of zero tolerance against terrorism. Operation Sindoor has made this policy more clear. Whoever tries to shed the blood of Indians, will be answered in their language itself. Will not spare the eye -raising eye on India at any cost. Operation vermilion is the mission of protecting humanity and ending terrorism.
