Hear me loud and clear, we will break back of terrorists, raze them to ground: PM Modi’s dare in Bihar
Sending out a firm message of zero tolerance to terror, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the perpetrators and conspirators behind the April 22 Kashmir terror attack will get a punishment beyond their imagination.
Addressing the National Panchayat Day event in election-bound Bihar’s Madhubani, the Prime Minister addressed both the country and the world and said India stood firm in its resolve against terror and would break the back of terrorists and raze their remaining infrastructure to the ground.
“Friends, today from the soil of Bihar I want to tell the whole world that India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and his backer. We will pursue them to the very end. India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished,” the Prime Minister said to a massive applause as he addressed his first public gathering post the Kashmir terror attack.
He said every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done in the April 22 attack that took 26 innocent lives.
The entire nation is firm in its resolve, Modi said, thanking world leaders for their solidarity with India in the time of this tragedy.
The Prime Minister earlier paid deep condolences for the loss of lives in Pahalgam and said the entire country, every citizen was anguished by the attack.
“The killing of innocents by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22 has pained the entire country. The nation stands in solidarity with the affected families and prays for early recovery of the injured,” said Modi, adding that the government is doing its best to bring succour to the survivors.
He said this attack was not just on unarmed tourists.
“The enemies of India have attacked the very faith of this nation. I want to say this clearly—the perpetrators who are conspirators of this attack will be meted out a punishment greater and beyond what they can ever imagine. Punishment is bound to be given. Time has come to raze to the ground the remaining structure of terrorists,” the Prime Minister said in a veiled dare to Pakistan, a day after India announced strong retaliatory measures in the wake of the Kashmir attack.
Modi said the will of 140 crore Indians will now break the back of the handlers of terrorists.
The Prime Minister also said in the Kashmir terror attack, someone lost their son, someone a brother, someone a partner.
“Someone spoke Bangla, someone Kannada, someone Marathi, someone was Odia, someone Gujarati and someone was a son of Bihar. Today Kargil to Kanyakumari, our anguish is one, our anger is one,” he said, framing the Kashmir attack as an assault on India’s national consciousness.
