India, July 29 -- Pakistan pleaded for mercy during Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, referring to the escalation of military conflict between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor in May.

Addressing the Lok Sabha during a debate on Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said, "Pakistan made a call...made a request in front of DGMO, 'Bas karo... bahut maara (Stop it...you have hit enough), now we don't have the strength to take more beating, please stop the attack'".
