Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a symbolic address at Ayodhya's Ram Temple, he once again highlighted India's growing military prowess at an event in Kurukshetra.

The Prime Minister reminded the audience that "new India" is not only well-equipped to deal with any kind of security situation, but has the wherewithal to ensure that the response serves as a spectacle to the rest of the world.

Earlier today, in his symbolic address in Ayodhya, after hoisting the saffron ‘Dharma Dhwaj’ in Ayodhya, the PM reached out to marginalised communities and linked his message to the ideas of ‘Ram Rajya’ and ‘Viksit Bharat’.

"The entire world saw that the new India neither fears nor bows down to terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday at an event in Kurukshetra, while referring to Operation Sindoor," remarked the PM during his speech.

Modi said that while India desires peace, it will not compromise on its security, citing Operation Sindoor as a prime example.

“We speak to the world about universal brotherhood, and we also protect our borders. We seek peace, but we do not compromise on our security," the prime minister said while addressing a special programme in the city to commemorate the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru.

"Operation Sindoor is the biggest example of this. New India neither fears nor stops, and it does not bend before terrorism. Today’s India is moving forward with full strength, with courage and clarity,” he added.
