00:00Namaskar, the same Shiv Sena which dug up the cricket pitch to not allow Pakistan to

00:06play a cricket match.

00:10And with the same commitment, I'm part of the joint delegation that has come from all

00:15political parties to say that as Indians, we stand one.

00:20And nobody can divide us, nobody can take us away from our resolve.

00:26That we as Indians stand united, come highs, come lows, come tough times, come happy times,

00:33we all celebrate together, we all mourn together, we all remember together, and we all fight

00:39back together.

00:41So that is the spirit in which we've come together.

00:44So as we were coming here, we saw some flags, and you all would know what those flags were.

00:52And I thought to myself, the IMF loan is coming handy.

00:59And I hope those who are giving them the IMF loans realize what it's being used for.

01:03So just two minutes ago, I just walked outside to check, have they left?

01:09And I was told, yes, they've gone.

01:12And while we Indians continue to be where we are, resolutely, strongly, backing for our

01:17mother India.

01:24I come to you at a time when India has faced a terror attack, again coming from Pakistan.

01:30And I can't go, I can't help myself go back in time to 99.

01:37I got married in the year 99.

01:40It was the month of November.

01:42In December, while we were just happily married, just settling into our post honeymoon period,

01:48settling into a new home, both me and my husband.

01:52We heard of the IC 814 hijack, 99 December.

01:58Five Pakistani terrorists took hold of a plane.

02:03And I can't till date forget one young married couple of which Rupin Katyal lost his life.

02:12It was again coming from Pakistan.

02:15And that flashback took me back to the current scenario.

02:19A Himanshi Narwal, husband, naval officer Vinay Narwal, shot in the same manner in a dastardly

02:28terror attack coming from Pakistan.

02:31In between we had, I come from the city of Mumbai.

02:35In between we had the terror attacks in Mumbai.

02:39How many women were left without their husbands?

02:43As a woman, it has impacted me.

02:45It has changed my own role towards how I look at Pakistan.

02:52And for every woman who lost her husband, for every woman whose husband was in the army

02:57who has lost their husband in the service to the nation, I salute them all.

03:03And I stand by them.

03:04And I will continue to talk to them.

03:07And I will continue to fight all those forces who target civilians rather than having the

03:14guts to stand by your own nation and fight a nation to nation.

03:22Our Operation Sindur was a fight back to all those women who perhaps will not get a chance

03:27to put a Sindur back on their forehead.

03:30But to remind Pakistan that every life you disrupt, we will come back ten times harder,

03:37now into your homes, destroy your terrorist camps and won't let you go.

03:43This is Operation Sindur.

03:45Operation Sindur isn't just a combat that we saw where we go hit terror camps.

03:51It is an ongoing mission.

03:53One of that is us, diplomacy, trade, economically, militarily, through our armed forces.

04:03You attack us, we attack you back.

04:07And this is what the new idea of zero tolerance to terrorism should stand for.

04:13After this Article 370 removal, we saw Jammu and Kashmir see peace.

04:18We also saw an election.

04:19We also saw an elected government coming to power.

04:21Sri Ammar Abdullah is the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.

04:25And post the terror attacks, I know he is fighting for statehood there, but post the terror

04:29attacks in the Assembly, the first thing he said was, this is not the time for me to

04:33ask for statehood.

04:34This is time for me to fight for justice.

04:37So that is the spirit that we fight with.

04:39I will go back home.

04:40I will go back to India.

04:41I will have questions of my government.

04:44But I stand resolutely with India, with the Indians, and ensure that in every part of

04:50this mission, if our political parties can get together and not be divided, then there

04:58is no force on earth that we can't beat.

05:01And if you as Indians, as the brand ambassadors who are here, if you all speak up for what we

05:08have suffered, and to tell them about the challenges that they may face in the future, that would

05:15also be part of Hermes and Sindhu.

05:17So again, once again, I would like to thank you all for having me here, allowing me to

05:23speak.

05:24I speak as a woman before I speak as a politician.

05:27I speak as a mother before I speak as a politician of a particular party.

05:32So in that same faith, in that same belief, in that same resolve, let's all stay together,

05:38let's all stay united, let them come and do their sloganeering.

05:41Mr.

05:43We will stand firm.

05:44We will stand with Mother India.

05:48Jai.

05:49Mr.

05:50Jai.

05:51Jai.

05:52Jai.

05:53Jai.

05:54Jai.

05:55Jai.

05:56Jai.

05:57Jai.

06:07Jai.

06:08Jai.

06:09Jai.
