00:00The time for hesitations and half-measures, my friends, is over.
00:04Was there peace when 40 CRPF jawans were martyred in Pulwama?
00:08Was there peace when our brave soldiers were ambushed in Uri?
00:11Agar koi humara dharm poochke maarega, to hum dharm batakar maaregge.
00:15With this undying spirit of patriotism, I rise today not just as a representative,
00:20but as the voice of billion Indians.
00:23A nation whose heart bleeds for its martyrs, whose soul demands justice,
00:28and whose resolve remains unshaken.
00:30Greetings to one and all present here.
00:32I am Salakshi Bhattacharya from the state of Bengal.
00:34But today, I stand here most importantly as an Indian.
00:38And as an Indian, my friends, I would like to ask for a firm and uncompromising stance
00:47against cross-border terrorism.
00:49The time for hesitations and half-measures, my friends, is over.
00:53Now, some in the opposition may argue that such a move may destabilize peace.
00:57But to them, I would like to ask, was there peace when 40 CRPF jawans were martyred in Pulwama?
01:03Was there peace when our brave soldiers were ambushed in Uri?
01:06Was there peace when our air base was attacked in Pathan court?
01:10Silence, my friends, is not diplomacy.
01:13And appeasement is not strategy.
01:16When terror is exported across the border as state policy,
01:20the only response must be strength.
01:23Under this very government, our border security forces are stronger, sharper,
01:29and more technologically equipped than ever before.
01:32Today, drone surveillance, AI-backed fencing, night vision monitoring,
01:36and satellite tracking have significantly reduced infiltration.
01:40The surgical strikes posturi, the balakot airstrikes, and even, my friends,
01:45the most recent Operation Sindur sent a message that India will not tolerate terrorism,
01:51not even for one night.
01:53Looking forward, this government is laying a comprehensive blueprint
01:57to eliminate terrorism from its very roots.
02:00We have empowered agencies like the NIA and the Multi-Agency Centre for Real-Time Intelligence Sharing.
02:06We are tackling money laundering and terror financing head-on.
02:10Hawala networks have been exposed.
02:12Ween army assets seized and sleeper cells dismantled through coordinated efforts
02:17of the ED, NIA, and the state forces.
02:20Now, my friends, let us not forget that every single government of India
02:25has been facing the dark shadow of terrorism since independence.
02:29But the difference today lies in the clarity of intent
02:33to move from response to retaliation, from defence to deterrence.
02:38But again, I must remind you that this fight isn't just the governments.
02:42It is of India's.
02:44We need internal unity.
02:45We need collective political will.
02:47And we need to rise above the partition lines
02:50and stand with our armed forces and institutions
02:53without ambiguity as one nation.
02:56So I ask this house, will we let the pain of our martyrs go in vain?
03:00Will we keep waiting for another attack to wake up?
03:03Or will we act now boldly and decisively as one nation?
03:08India, my friends, has wept enough.
03:11India has condemned enough.
03:13And now is the time to wake up.
03:15Now is the time to act boldly and decisively
03:18and to honour our 1994 resolution
03:21and end cross-border terrorism.
03:25We must let the world know that India will fight,
03:29India will rise and India will prevail.
03:32Because at the end of the day, my friends,
03:34Bharat is not only a moon,
03:37a soul of the world,
03:39because it is a soul.
03:40And if someone asks us,
03:42then we will tell the truth.
03:44Thank you so much.
03:45Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.
