New Delhi, May 12 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, in a powerful televised address to the nation, minced no words in criticising Pakistan and its terror-supporting tactics while underlining that 'Operation Sindoor' is the country's policy against terror, making it clear that terror and trade, terror and talk cannot happen together while water and blood can't also flow at the same time.
