‘Blood of every Indian on boil...will serve harshest response’: PM Modi expresses anguish over Pahalgam terror attack in Mann Ki Baat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep anguish over the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam and said every Indian is unitedly speaking against the heinous attack. In his monthly Mann Ki Baat podcast, Modi said the affected families will get justice.

 

In his monthly podcast on Sunday, Modi said, “The terrorist incident that took place in Pahalgam on April 22 has hurt every citizen of the country. Every Indian holds deep sympathies for the affected families. I can feel that the blood of every Indian is on the boil after seeing the pictures of the terrorist attack. This attack in Pahalgam shows the desperation of the patrons of terrorism; displays their cowardice.”

 

The prime minister said terrorists wanted to disturb the peace in Jammu and Kashmir. “The terrorists and the masterminds of terror want Kashmir to be destroyed again and hence they executed such a big conspiracy,” he said. Modi said the unity of 140 crore Indians was the biggest strength. “We have to demonstrate strong willpower as a nation. Today the world is watching, after this terrorist attack, the whole country is speaking in one voice,” the prime minister asserted. 

 

Modi said global leaders have sent him messages expressing condolences and condemning the attack. “The whole world stands with 140 crore Indians in our fight against terrorism. 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,” Modi asserted.

 

The prime minister also paid tributes to scientist and former ISRO chief K. Kasturirangan who passed away on Friday and said ISRO attained a new identity under his leadership. Modi said most satellites India uses today were launched during Kasturirangan’s period.
