PM Narendra Modi marked India’s 78th Independence Day with a sharp warning to Pakistan.
He vowed punishment for future attacks and rejected what he called “nuclear blackmail.”
His speech comes months after deadly cross-border clashes.
Modi said India would no longer tolerate terrorism or those who support it.
He also hinted at continued suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, saying “blood and water will not flow together.” He also announced a “high-powered demographic mission” to address illegal migration, a topic his government has linked to security concerns and shifting population patterns in border regions.
