Vance called 3-4 times, I was in meeting: PM recounts Op Sindoor call with US V-P

New Delhi,UPDATED: Jul 29, 2025 20:08 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that he was in talks with military officials on the night of May 9, in the midst of Operation Sindoor, when he received several missed calls from US Vice President JD Vance. Noticing around four missed calls, he said he returned the call to Vance.

PM Modi said that Vance warned him that Pakistan was planning a massive attack on India, to which he responded, "Our response will be even stronger."

"He kept trying for almost an hour, but I was in a meeting with our armed forces and couldn’t take his call. Later, I called him back.He informed me that Pakistan was planning a major attack. That’s what he told me directly. My response (though some may not understand it) was clear: if Pakistan intends to carry out such an attack, it will have to pay a very heavy price. That’s exactly what I told the US Vice President," PM Modi said.

"Then, I told him, 'Hum goli ke jawab gola se dengue,'" PM added.

PM Modi said that following this, India destroyed much of Pakistan’s military infrastructure. "Now, Pakistan knows that every response from India is stronger than the one before," he added.

He further clarified that no world leaders had asked India to stop Operation Sindoor, as the House erupted in cheers.
