Dhamangaon (Maha): As firing from across the border declined following strong retaliatory response by India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said Pakistan has been taught a "befitting lesson" with the Army "shutting their mouth".

"Pakistan has got a befitting lesson. They will not dare to repeat it again. Our jawans have shut their mouth," he said addressing an election rally here. The Prime Minister said those living close to the border with Pakistan who had to leave their homes following nine days of heavy mortar shelling and firing will be adequately compensated by the Centre.
