Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that everyone recently witnessed the power of "Make in India" during Operation Sindoor, as the weapons played a major role in reducing terrorist hideouts to rubble. Prime Minister Modi added that these indigenous weapons are still keeping the masters of terrorism awake at night.

Speaking at a public event in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi (or Tuticorin), after launching multiple development projects, PM Modi said, "Today, the Government of India is strongly emphasising Make in India and Mission Manufacturing. You all recently witnessed the power of Make in India during Operation Sindoor. The weapons made in India played a major role in reducing terrorist hideouts to rubble. Weapons made in India are still keeping the masters of terrorism awake at night."

India's Operation Sindoor stands out as one of the country's most forceful military responses to cross-border terrorism. The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to retaliate against the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where Pakistan-backed terrorists gunned down 26 innocent civilians. As part of the operation, the Indian armed forces launched precise missile strikes on nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing over 100 dreaded terrorists and destroying terror launch pads and training camps.

Notably, India’s indigenously developed Akash missile system, along with legacy platforms like Pechora and OSA-AK, played a significant role in its air defense during the military operation against Pakistan.

Emphasising India’s growing global stature, Prime Minister Modi said the world’s increasing trust in India reflects the country’s rising self-confidence. 

"This is a symbol of the world's growing trust in India and India's new self-confidence. With this self-confidence, we will build a developed India, a developed Tamil Nadu. Today, with the blessings of Lord Rameshwar and Thiruchendur Murugan, a new chapter of development is being written in Thoothukudi,” PM Modi said. 

Prime Minister Modi arrived in Tamil Nadu on Saturday evening after concluding a two-nation visit to the Maldives and the UK. During his visit to the southern state, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for multiple development projects, including port infrastructure, highway upgrades, airport expansion, rail electrification, and clean energy initiatives amounting to over Rs 4,800 crore.

Notably, in February last year, Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation stone for the Outer Harbour Container Terminal at VO Chidambaranar Port and dedicated several development projects worth hundreds of crores to the nation.
