In the aftermath of the tragic and cowardly attack in Pahalgam, the swift and decisive response by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, deserves both appreciation and public support. Within hours of the incident, the CCS convened to assess the situation, evaluate the intelligence inputs, and initiate immediate and long-term measures to ensure security and justice. The seriousness with which the government has approached this matter is a reflection of its commitment to national security and to the families affected by this heart-wrenching tragedy. The decisions made during the CCS meeting—ranging from intensified counter-terror operations and intelligence coordination to stepped-up surveillance in vulnerable zones—signal a clear message: acts of terror will be met with unwavering resolve. The reassurance extended to the people of Jammu & Kashmir and to the rest of the country is a crucial step in restoring public confidence during this deeply distressing time. This is not a moment for politics or division—it is a time for unity and national resolve. The people of India stand firmly with the government and the security forces who work tirelessly to safeguard our land. At a time when emotions are running high and grief weighs heavily on the nation, the collective voice must be one of support, strength, and solidarity. Terrorist acts aim to create fear, chaos, and disintegration. Our strongest response lies not just in retaliation, but in reaffirming the principles of resilience, unity, and justice. The government’s prompt action through the CCS sets the tone for this response. As the nation mourns, it also marches forward—with its eyes open, its spirit unbroken, and its heart united. Let us remember the victims not only through our prayers but through our resolve to uphold peace and security, standing as one with the government in this crucial hour.
