New Delhi, May 13 || Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation on Monday drew widespread praise from BJP leaders and NDA allies, who said his speech sent a clear and firm message to both the global community and India's adversaries.
The address, which came in the wake of 'Operation Sindoor' and the ceasefire understanding with Pakistan, underscored India's uncompromising stance on terrorism and reiterated that any dialogue with Pakistan would be restricted to issues concerning terrorism and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK).

Outlining a three-pronged "new normal" in India's anti-terror doctrine, the Prime Minister said India is committed to tracking and eliminating terror threats globally, and that state-backed terror operatives will be treated at par with their masterminds.
He stressed that India's responses will not be curbed by Nuclear threats and that the country reserves the right to act decisively against any terror attack.
Leaders, called PM Modi's address "highly commendable" which they said, shows India's response against terrorism will be decisive.
BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal praised the address, and told, "PM Modi clearly outlined India's priorities to the world. He made it clear what India's terms are, and if anyone attempts an invasion or a terrorist attack, India will respond decisively."
