Attack on country's soul, will punish every terrorist": PM Modi on Pahalgam

Srinagar, April 24: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers who are behind the deadly Pahalgam attack that left 26 civilians dead and many injured.

Addressing a public gathering in Bihar, PM Modi vowed to pursue terrorists to the end of the Earth. "India would not rest until those responsible for the attack are brought to justice. India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers," he said.

He also said the attack was not just an assault to civilians, but a blow aimed at the spirit of the country. "This is an attack on the country's soul, not merely on unarmed tourists," he said.

The PM also assured that the government is taking steps to ensure medical care for the injured. "We are trying to ensure the best treatment for those injured," he said.

He noted that the incident had caused deep anger across the country. "The entire nation is peeved at the Kashmir incident. People across India stand with the families of those killed. The pain is shared by all."

Without naming any country directly, PM Modi issued a stern warning to those behind the attack. "I assure the nation that those who carried out this attack and those who helped them, they will be given a reply, which they have not even imagined of," he said. (KNO)
