Its handover to the Navy led to renouncement of a major colonial legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few months ago we had seen how INS Vikrant gave some sleepless nights to Pakistan. INS Vikrant, the name itself puts an end to the courage of the enemy,\u201d PM Modi said.<\/p>\n<p>PM Modi spent a night onboard INS Vikrant and witnessed the Navy\u2019s air power at the high seas with MiG 27 aircraft demonstrating its skills on the aircraft carrier built at the Cochin Shipyard.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the success of \u2018Operation Sindoor\u2019 PM Modi said, \u201cWhen the enemy is in front and war is imminent, the side that possesses the strength to fight independently always holds the advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fear instilled by the Indian Navy, the extraordinary skill demonstrated by the Indian Air Force, and the bravery of the Indian Army, along with the exceptional coordination among all three services, brought Pakistan on its knees swiftly during Operation Sindoor,\u201d he said, adding that the armed forces deserved a special salute for their actions. \u201cFor the armed forces to be strong, self-reliance is essential,\u201d he said, asserting that over the years India\u2019s forces have steadily advanced towards self-reliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMissiles such as BrahMos and Akash have proven their capabilities during Operation Sindoor.

I saw the immense energy and enthusiasm you all were filled with. When I saw you singing patriotic songs yesterday, and the way you described Operation Sindoor in your songs, no words can ever fully convey the experience that a jawan feels standing on a battlefield,\u201d PM\u00a0 Modi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Diwali has been special as it was spent amongst you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister has been celebrating Diwali with the armed forces since 2014.
