Pahalgam terror attack: PM Modi vows 'harshest response'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the nation on Sunday that the harshest response will be meted out to terrorists and their patrons responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack. Three days after his strong remarks at Madhubani in Bihar that the culprits will be pursued till the ends of the world and the remaining base of terrorism will be turned to dust, he said the families of the victims will get justice.

In his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' address, Modi said every citizen feels the pain of the attack and the blood of people is on the boil. Several nations have stood by India and extended support.

"Friends, the anger that we the people of India feel, that anger is there in the whole world. After this terrorist attack, condolences are continuously pouring in from all over the world. Global leaders have called me up as well, written letters and sent messages too. Everyone has strongly condemned this heinous terrorist attack. They have expressed condolences to the families of the deceased. The whole world stands with 140 crore Indians in our fight against terrorism," he said.


"I once again assure the affected families that they will get justice, and justice will be done. The perpetrators and conspirators of this attack will be served with the harshest response," he said.

"No matter which state one belongs to, no matter which language one speaks, one is feeling the pain of those who have lost their loved ones in this attack. I can feel that the blood of every Indian is on the boil after seeing the pictures of the terrorist attack."

"There was a vibrancy in schools and colleges, construction work had gained unprecedented pace, democracy was getting stronger, the number of tourists was increasing at a record rate, people's income was increasing, new opportunities were being created for the youth. The enemies of the country, the enemies of Jammu and Kashmir, did not like that. The terrorists and the masterminds of terror want Kashmir to be destroyed again and hence they executed such a big conspiracy," Modi said.
