"With a heavy heart, paid last respects to the deceased of the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared," said Shah.

The Union minister along with Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and chief minister Omar Abdullah met the injured at a hospital in Anantnag and assured them of all the help and support from the government. Shah also met the survivors and family members of the tourists killed in the attack. "Every Indian feels the pain of losing their loved ones in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. This sorrow cannot be expressed in words," said Shah, adding, "I assure all these families and the entire nation that these terrorists who killed innocent people will not be spared at all."
