NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers on Wednesday staged a protest at the footover bridge near Modi Flour Mills in Okhla, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hard-hitting address to the nation that ruled out any talks with Pakistan apart from terrorism and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The demonstration, captured in a video shared by news agency ANI, featured a bold banner that read: “PoK ka chhodda mauka, Modi ka desh ka dhokha.”
'Talks only on terrorism and PoK'
PM Modi’s Monday speech following India’s precision strikes under Operation Sindoor , carried out across Pakistan and PoK after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.
In his address, PM Modi declared, “If there will be talks between India and Pakistan, it will only be on terrorism and PoK,” firmly dismissing any prospects of normal diplomatic engagement with Islamabad.
The Prime Minister lauded India’s armed forces, intelligence agencies, and scientists, saying the success of Operation Sindoor was a “pledge fulfilled” on behalf of millions of Indians. He added that the nation had witnessed both “India’s strength and restraint” in recent days.
Reiterating India’s toughened stance, the PM said, “Terror and trade cannot go hand in hand, nor can blood and water flow together.”
He warned Pakistan that continued support for terrorism would lead to its downfall: “Pakistan’s military and government have nurtured terrorism. If Pakistan wants to survive, it must dismantle its terror infrastructure. There is no other path to peace.”
AAP leader Manish Sisodia questions Narendra Modi over ‘sudden ceasefire’
Former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday questioned the government's decision to agree to a "sudden ceasefire" despite what he described as a clear strategic advantage and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the doubts being raised around it.
Sisodia also asked why Modi didn’t press for a formal written peace accord, similar to the Shimla Agreement signed in 1972. “When the entire nation and the opposition were standing with the govt, and the Indian Army was in a strong position, why did Modi suddenly agree to a ceasefire?” he asked.
Referring to PM Modi’s own remarks about Pakistan being a terrorist state, Sisodia questioned the logic behind not pressing for stronger terms. “Modi admitted that Pakistan is a terrorist state. If Pakistan was unable to counter our airstrikes and was begging to end the tension, why did he not demand that the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack be handed over to India?” Sisodia said.
