“...If someone, by doing a cowardly attack, thinks that it is their big victory, then understand one thing, this is the Narendra Modi government, no one will be spared. It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country and it will be accomplished,” Shah said.

“Not only 140 crore Indians but the whole world is standing with India in this fight, all the countries of the world have come together and are standing with the people of India in this fight against terrorism,” he added.

Pahalgam terror attack

Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed and several were injured when terrorists opened fire at a meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on April 22.

The terror attack was one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike, which claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.

India on April 23 announced a raft of punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and downgraded diplomatic ties in view of cross-border links to the attack, among others.

The government also revoked all visas issued to Pakistani nationals, but exempted long-term visas from the order.

At a key security meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the armed forces have full operational freedom to determine the mode, targets, and timing of India’s response to the terror attack.
