Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Prime Minister Narendra Modi saluted the 'Nari Shakti' on the occasion of the 300th birth anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar during a women's empowerment event in Bhopal.
Addressing the huge gathering of women at the city's Jamboree Ground on Saturday, PM Modi, reiterated Operation Sindoor as India's most successful mission against Pakistan so far, hailing it as 'Kaal' for terrorists.
Amid chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Matram, he issued a stern warning to the neighbouring country giving shelter to terrorists: "Ab ghar mein ghuskar bhi marenge or jo aatankiyo ki madad karega usko bhari keemat chukani padhegi. Ab goli ka jawab hum gole se denge" (We will hit the terrorists hard at their home and will not spare their supporters as well.)
The Prime Minister lauded BSF women forces as the success of Operation Sindoor. "They gave a strong reply to cross-border firing on LOC. Today, NCC's first batch of women passed out. Now, more daughters will be deployed in active roles in defence forces-- Navy, Army and Air Force."
He recalled efforts of brave legendary queens-- Devi Ahilya, Rani Durgavati, Savitri Bai Phule, Rani Avanti Bai, Rani Kamlapati and others – emphasising his government's stance to continue working for women's empowerment.
