Claim
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that terrorism and talks cannot go together.
“इसीलिए नरेंद्र मोदी कहते हैं कि आतंकवाद और बातचीत एक साथ नहीं चल सकते”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
PM Modi has repeatedly and publicly stated that terrorism and talks cannot go together, most prominently in his May 12, 2025 address to the nation after Operation Sindoor ('Terror and talks cannot go together; terror and trade cannot go together'), documented by the government's own PIB release and multiple wire and international outlets well before the 2026-06-30 broadcast. The anchor's attribution of this statement to Modi is correct.
