PM Modi Condemns Pahalgam Terror Attack In Mann Ki Baat; Vows Harshest Response

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday condemned the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, describing the deep anguish he felt and promising that the conspirators would face the ‘harshest response’.

Speaking during the 121st episode of Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister referred to the 22 April attack as a sign of desperation by the patrons of terrorism.

‘Nyaye milke rahega (Justice will be served)’, PM Modi assured, as he spoke about the collective grief and anger felt by citizens across the nation.

He underlined that every Indian, irrespective of state or language, shared the heartbreak and fury at the heinous attack.

Attack On Kashmir’s Progress

PM Modi described the Pahalgam attack as an attempt to disturb the peace and growing prosperity in Kashmir.

He stated that, as normalcy returned to the region, enemies of the nation could not tolerate it.

“Terrorists and their masters want Kashmir to be destroyed again, which is why such a conspiracy was hatched,” he remarked.

PM Modi highlighted Kashmir’s growth- rising tourism, incomes, construction, and democracy- and blamed India’s enemies for being agitated by it.

“The attack in Pahalgam shows the desperation of the patrons of terrorism; it displays their cowardice,” he added.

National Unity: India’s Greatest Strength Against Terrorism

The Prime Minister urged citizens to strengthen India’s resolve against terrorism, emphasising national unity as the country’s greatest strength.

“In this war against terrorism, the unity of the country, the solidarity of 140 crore Indians, is our biggest strength,” he asserted, urging all to demonstrate unwavering willpower.

PM Modi also shared that international leaders had conveyed their condolences and condemned the attack.

“After this terrorist attack, condolences are continuously pouring in from all over the world. Global leaders have called me, written letters, and sent messages. They have expressed their support and sympathies with India,” he said.

In closing, PM Modi reassured the families of the victims that justice would prevail.

“Once again, I assure the victims’ families that they will get justice. The conspirators and perpetrators of this attack will face the harshest response,” he concluded.

The Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives, marks one of the deadliest terrorist incidents in the valley since the Pulwama attack of 2019.
