00:00Our Prime Minister has made it very clear.
00:03Operation Sindhoor was necessary because these terrorists came and wiped the Sindhoor off the foreheads of 26 women
00:13by depriving them of their husbands and father, their married lives.
00:22In fact, there were some women who cried out the terrorists, kill me too.
00:26And they said, no, go back, tell what happened to you.
00:30We heard, we heard their cries.
00:34And India decided that the color of the Sindhoor, that vermilion color on the forehead of our women,
00:42will also match the color of the blood of the killers, the perpetrators, the attackers.
00:48India is not a warmongering state.
01:00Even when we conducted those attacks, the first nine terror base attacks,
01:07our government said very clearly, without any doubt, that we are not looking for any escalation.
01:16These were carefully, precisely calibrated strikes.
01:20We hit only terror bases.
01:25We hit no military facilities of Pakistan, no government facilities, no civilian homes.
01:31Very precise targeting meant that even within the compounds of Lashkar-e-Tewa and Jaish-e-Mohamed,
01:38we hit specific buildings.
01:40And we did so at night, between 1.05 and 1.30 at night.
01:48Why?
01:49Because we didn't want to have too much of collateral damage.
01:53At a different time during the day, there might have been a lot of civilians around.
01:56We didn't want their lives to be hurt.
01:59Think how much thought has gone into this.
02:02We wanted to send a message, a very clear message.
02:05And the target was not all the people of Pakistan.
02:09It was not even the government of Pakistan.
02:10The target was only the terrorists and their enablers.
