As the nation observes the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, here’s a look at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s notable statements condemning violence, honouring the victims, and reaffirming India’s resolve.
Paying tributes to the innocent lives lost, the prime minister posted on X: “Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss. As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.”
Speaking at a rally in Bihar last year, Modi stated: “This is a message to the entire world — from the soil of Bihar. India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth. India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism.”
“Every effort will be made to make sure that justice is done. The entire nation is united in this resolve. Everyone who believes in humanity stands with us.”
“I want to say in very clear words that these terrorists and those who conspired towards this attack will get a punishment bigger than they can imagine. The willpower of 140 crore Indians will now break the back of the masters of terror.”
“Let us all stand together in this moment of grief and observe a one-minute silence. I urge everyone to pay homage to those we lost in the Pahalgam terror attack.”
“I say this unequivocally: whoever has carried out this attack, and the ones who devised it, will be made to pay beyond their imagination.”
