'Dushman kahin bhi ho, honk diya jayega': PM Modi assures strong response to every terrorist attack
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in Kanpur on Friday, delivered a strong message to Pakistan over its support for terrorism. He made it clear that India will respond decisively to every terrorist attack, regardless of who is behind it. “If I say this straight in Kanpuriya, dushman kahin bhi ho honk diya jayega,” he declared.
He warned that India would not be intimidated by “hollow threats of atom bomb”, and decisions would not be made under pressure. PM Modi said, “Pakistan’s state and non-state actors... this game will not work anymore.”
The Prime Minister outlined a clear stance: India will respond to terrorism on its own terms. “Every terrorist attack will be answered strongly. The army will decide how and when to respond,” he said.
Highlighting India’s self-reliance, PM Modi cited Atmanirbhar Bharat and spoke of Operation Sindoor, where Indian weapons, including the BrahMos missile, struck deep into enemy territory. “The world witnessed the power of Make in India,” he said.
He recalled India’s past dependence on foreign nations for defence and stressed that becoming self-reliant was essential for national pride.
Modi also paid tribute to Shubham Dwivedi, a victim of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, saying the outrage of India's daughters had fuelled Operation Sindoor.

PM Modi Uttar Pradesh Visit Live: Major rail, road boost for Kanpur with expressway links, Rs 1,000 crore rail corridor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted upcoming infrastructure upgrades for Kanpur, including improved expressway connectivity to both eastern and western Uttar Pradesh and the long-awaited solution to traffic bottlenecks caused by multiple railway crossings. A new elevated rail corridor, addressing decades-old commuter issues, is now set to be built.
PM Narendra Modi said, "From Lucknow, there will now be direct connectivity via the Purvanchal Expressway. The Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway will also be linked to the Ganga Expressway.

Now, an elevated rail corridor is going to be built here with an investment of ₹1,000 crore"

PM Modi Uttar Pradesh Visit Live: Transforming Kanpur’s infrastructure and connectivity
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected on Kanpur’s past challenges, describing how areas like Chunni Ganj, Bada Chauraha, Naya Ganj, and the city center were once overwhelmed with congestion, chaos, and inadequate infrastructure. He noted that Kanpur and other major cities in Uttar Pradesh had fallen behind in development, with worsening traffic and slowing progress, despite their great potential.
PM Narendra Modi stated, "Remember how people used to talk about Kanpur—areas like Chunni Ganj, Bada Chauraha, Naya Ganj, Kanpur city center—so crowded, full of chaos, traffic issues, lack of modern infrastructure and planning. People used to say, 'How can projects like the Metro ever happen here? How can any big transformation occur?' In a way, Kanpur and other major cities in UP were left behind in the race for development. Traffic problems worsened, and the pace of the city slowed. The cities in UP, despite their immense potential, lagged in progress..."
PM Narendra Modi says, "...The UP where people avoided going out after evening now sees 24-hour travel on highways. Who better understands how UP has transformed than the people of Kanpur. Very soon, the travel time from Kanpur to Lucknow via expressway will be just 40-45 minutes..."

Additional inaugurations include the four-laning of the Patna–Gaya–Dobhi section (NH-22) and road upgrades in Gopalganj Town (NH-27), enhancing road connectivity across Bihar.
In the rail sector, Modi will dedicate to the nation the third rail line between Son Nagar and Mohammad Ganj, built at a cost of over Rs 1,330 crore to increase rail capacity and regional linkage.
The Prime Minister also inaugurated a Rs 1,200 crore terminal at Jayprakash Narayan International Airport in Patna and laid the foundation stone for a Rs 1,410 crore civil enclave at Bihta Airport, both projects aimed at modernizing air travel infrastructure in the state.
A key highlight is the foundation stone laying for Stage-II (3x800 MW) of the Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project in Aurangabad district, valued at over Rs 29,930 crore, aimed at boosting electricity generation, industrial growth, and job creation.
Major road infrastructure projects will be launched, including the four-laning of the Patna–Arrah–Sasaram section (NH-119A), six-laning of the Varanasi–Ranchi–Kolkata highway (NH-319B), and the construction of a new Ganga bridge between Buxar and Bharauli.
