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 PoKPM 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.”
