Mann Ki Baat 138: Modi recalls surgical strikes on their 10th anniversary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the 138th episode of his Mann Ki Baat radio address on Sunday to revisit the surgical strikes of September 28–29, 2016, calling them a decisive response to terrorism; the tenth anniversary falls on Monday.
He said India follows a zero-tolerance policy on terror, citing the Balakot strikes and Operation Sindoor as further evidence, and contrasted the present approach with past eras of serial blasts — mentioning the September 13, 2008 Delhi blasts and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The Prime Minister also paid tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, noting that Indian lives were among those lost.
