| Terrorism is like dog’s crooked tail, needs to be tackled firmly: CM Yogi | | | Agencies
Lucknow, May 11: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, launched a sharp attack on Pakistan-backed terrorism, calling it a threat that understands only the language of force. Comparing terrorism with a dog’s crooked tail, he said that it can never be straightened. Referring to Operation Sindoor, he said India has sent a clear message to the world: terrorism will be met with decisive action.
The CM made the remarks during the inauguration of the BrahMos Aerospace Integration and Testing Facility at the Lucknow node of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor. He said, “The time has come for everyone to unite under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to crush terrorism with one voice.”
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also joined the event virtually, and together with CM Yogi, launched the BrahMos unit by pressing a button. During the event, a publication related to defence production titled Brahmand was also released. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh joined the event virtually, where he and CM Yogi jointly inaugurated the BrahMos unit. A publication on defence production, Brahmand, was also released. As a mark of honour, CM Yogi received a BrahMos missile model and handed over appointment letters to youth selected by BrahMos Aerospace.
CM Yogi praised the bravery of India’s armed forces and lauded the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Congratulating the people of Uttar Pradesh, he said the success of Operation Sindoor was a result of the joint strength of India’s Army, Navy, and Air Force.
“The world saw what BrahMos can do during Operation Sindoor. And if anyone still has doubts, they should ask the people in Pakistan what the missile is capable of,” the Chief Minister remarked.
He mentioned that Prime Minister Modi has made it clear — every terrorist act will now be treated as an act of war. “Terrorism will not end unless we crush it completely,” he added.
He further highlighted the importance of self-reliance in defence production, pointing out that a truly self-sufficient nation must not depend on others for its security needs. He cited Israel as a model of defence self-reliance, noting how it has deterred hostile neighbours through strength and preparedness.
The Chief Minister said the BrahMos project and the Defence Corridor reflect the broader vision laid out by Prime Minister Modi in 2014. “I am confident that the path India is on will lead to great achievements,” he added. |
