PM Modi warns Pakistan with 'Made in UP' BrahMos missile threat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday delivered a stern warning to Pakistan, asserting that any future acts of terror would be met with a decisive and indigenous response. In a strongly worded address in his constituency of Varanasi, the Prime Minister announced that BrahMos missiles will now be manufactured in Lucknow, and added, "If Pakistan commits any sin again, missiles made in UP will destroy the terrorists."

The Prime Minister's remarks connected India's growing defence capabilities with the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (Self-Reliant India) initiative. He highlighted the effectiveness of indigenous weapons during "Operation Sindoor," stating that India's Air Defence Systems, missiles, and drones have showcased the nation's strength. Modi also claimed that the name of BrahMos is enough to "keep Pakistan awake at night." He noted that major defence firms are establishing manufacturing plants in the UP Defence Corridor, and "Made in India weapons will soon become the strength of our forces."

Beyond the security focus, PM Modi's address also touched upon economic self-reliance. He urged citizens to support "swadeshi" products to help India become the world's third-biggest economy. He called for political unity for the nation’s economic goals, urging all parties to set aside differences and promote indigenous goods.
