New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, in a veiled statement, warned Pakistan that Indian soldiers will give a befitting reply to those who try to ruin the atmosphere of peace and progress of the country.

Modi's remarks came in his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', a day after India celebrated "Parakram Parv" to mark the second anniversary of the 2016 surgical strike carried out by the Army's special forces across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir to destroy terror launch pads.

"Now, it has been decided that our soldiers will give befitting reply to all those who will try to ruin the atmosphere of peace and progress of our country," Modi said.

"We believe in peace and are determined to encourage it but it cannot be done at the cost of country's pride and sovereignty."

Recalling India's contribution in acts to maintain peace in the world, Modi said, "India has always been committed to peace. Our more than 1 lakh soldiers have sacrificed their lives for peace in two World Wars.

"It also inspires us to ensure our country's unity and integrity."
