This public invitation from PM Modi comes after his 100-minute address in the Lok Sabha on“India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor”, in which he stated that the recent cross-border operation had thwarted an attempt to incite unrest and showcased the remarkable prowess of India's armed forces.

“I stand here to make a case for India, and to show a mirror to those who do not understand this. We have complete trust in the capabilities of our armed forces, and they were given a free hand to respond. The armed forces taught them such a lesson that the masters of terrorism are still losing their sleep over it,” he mentioned.
