Shillong, April 24: Expressing deep sorrow over the brutal killing of innocent civilians by terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday assured that “India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, and their backers.”
Speaking at the National Panchayati Raj Day programme in Madhubani in Bihar, the Prime Minister spoke in English to convey to the world India’s determination to pursue the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack to the ends of the earth and bring justice to the victims. “Today, from the soil of Bihar, I say to the whole world India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, and their backers. We will pursue to the ends of the earth. India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished,” he declared.
He remarked that the entire nation is distressed and stands in solidarity with the grieving families. He assured that every effort is being made by the government to ensure the speedy recovery of those undergoing treatment. He highlighted the profound loss suffered by families, where some lost their sons, brothers, or life partners, noting that the victims came from diverse linguistic and regional backgrounds—some spoke Bengali, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, Gujarati, and some were from Bihar.
Underlining that from Kargil to Kanyakumari, the grief and outrage over this attack are shared equally across the nation, Modi remarked that this attack was not just on unarmed tourists but was a brazen assault on the soul of India.
“Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done. The entire nation is firm in this resolve,” he stressed, adding that “the willpower of 140 crore Indians will now break the backbone of the perpetrators of terror.”
He further stated that everyone who believes in humanity stands with India during these times. He also expressed his gratitude to the people and leaders of various countries who have supported India in these moments.
