PM Modi Highlights Damaged Terror Camps in First Mann Ki Baat After Operation Sindoor
Addresses the Nation with Fresh Images and a Message of Strength
New Delhi | May 25, 2025 —
In his first Mann Ki Baat radio address following the decisive Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared never-before-seen visuals of the destroyed terror infrastructure across the Line of Control (LoC), sending a strong message both to the nation and its adversaries.
Speaking directly to the people of India on Sunday morning, PM Modi said,
“Operation Sindoor was not just a military operation—it was a reflection of our resolve. We will never tolerate any threat to our sovereignty.”
The Prime Minister emphasized that India acted only after receiving credible intelligence about terror launchpads being revived near the border. The address comes just weeks after Operation Sindoor—a swift and strategic offensive carried out by Indian forces targeting multiple terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Exclusive Satellite Images Shared
For the first time ever during a Mann Ki Baat broadcast, satellite images were presented, showing before-and-after visuals of the terror camps. Flattened structures, charred areas, and blackened terrains painted a clear picture of the damage inflicted.
“These images are not to boast, but to inform every Indian that we are vigilant, prepared, and committed,” Modi remarked.
Public Sentiment & National Response
Following the broadcast, #OperationSindoor and #MannKiBaat trended on social media, with citizens applauding the government’s transparency and bold stance. Many veterans and defense analysts also welcomed the move, calling it a moment of national reassurance.
Ritu Mahajan, a college professor from Delhi, said,
“It’s rare to see such direct communication. Showing the damaged terror bases felt powerful—it gave us a sense of closure and pride.”
A Message to the World
Modi’s message was not limited to India’s internal audience. In a carefully worded segment, he appealed to global powers to stand firm against terrorism in all its forms.
“We’ve always spoken for peace. But peace cannot exist without justice. Operation Sindoor was a message—India will not remain silent if provoked.”
The Prime Minister also hinted at diplomatic conversations that followed the operation, stating that India received support from multiple nations who “understand the cost of turning a blind eye to terror.”
Psychological Warfare? Or Transparency?
Critics have raised questions about whether broadcasting visuals of the damage borders on psychological warfare. However, senior government sources clarified that the aim is not intimidation but deterrence—sending a clear signal that India monitors threats in real-time and will act with precision when required.
