PM Modi Hails Indian Soldiers, Lays Foundation for PM MITRA Park in Dhar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday praised the valor of Indian soldiers, saying they brought Pakistan to its knees “in the blink of an eye” during Operation Sindoor.

Modi made the remarks while addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone for the Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Park in Dhar district. He also launched the ‘Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar’ and the ‘8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah’ campaigns aimed at enhancing women’s health services and promoting nutrition.

Highlighting the importance of domestic products, Modi urged citizens to embrace the Swadeshi mantra, saying, “Whatever you buy, it should be made in our country and should bear the sweat of some Indian. It should carry the fragrance of the soil of my India.”

On Operation Sindoor, Modi said, “The security of Mother India is the nation’s highest priority. Terrorists who came from Pakistan attempted to tarnish the dignity of our daughters and sisters. Responding through Operation Sindoor, we destroyed the terror launch pads. Our brave soldiers brought Pakistan to its knees in the blink of an eye.”

Modi also commemorated Hyderabad Liberation Day, recalling that on September 17, 1948, the Indian Army liberated Hyderabad from oppression, safeguarding citizens’ rights and reinstating national pride under the leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

The event in Dhar also marked Modi’s 75th birthday, where he accepted greetings from the crowd during the programme.
