Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given clear directions to armed forces to respond to cross-border firing and shelling with full force, saying “Wahan se goli chalegi, toh yahan se gola,” sources said on Sunday.
They said the Operation Sindoor is far from over, and India will respond with bombs to every Pakistani bullet fired from across the Line of Control (LoC).They say that the PM has said enough is enough, “Wahan se goli chalegi, toh yahan se gola chalega.” (If they fire bullets from there, we will respond with bombs). The turning point was the attacks on the air bases, they said.
“If they fire, we will fire, and if they attack, we will attack,” they added.
The sources also informed about India’s stand on Kashmir, saying that the country doesn’t need anyone to mediate and there was only one issue at hand, which was the return of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
“We have a very clear position on Kashmir, there is only one matter left – the return of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). There is nothing else to talk. If they talk about handing over terrorists, we can talk. I don’t have any intention of any other topic. We don’t want anyone to mediate. We don’t need anyone to mediate,” the sources were quoted as saying.
