Mumbai, May 26: Reiterating the government’s firm stance against terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said those behind the heinous Pahalgam terror attack will be hunted down and eliminated. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that no perpetrator, regardless of where they hide, will be spared.
“Terrorists, supported by Pakistan, brutally killed innocent civilians in front of their families after questioning their religion in Pahalgam. They will face strict consequences for this attack, and we will track down and eliminate every one of them,” he said while addressing a public rally at Nava Mondha Ground in Nanded area of Maharashtra state.
Shah was quick to add that there can be no compromise when it comes to the nation’s armed forces, citizens, or borders. “The era of silence is gone now. Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India responds with clarity and strength to any threat,” he said. “Anyone who dares to challenge our army, citizens, or borders will be dealt with firmly.”
The Home Minister said, “They struck in Uri, and we responded with a surgical strike. Pulwama was followed by an airstrike. After the Pahalgam incident, we launched Operation Sindoor, which dismantled their (Pakistani terrorists) bases. The Prime Minister had already said that those behind such acts will be found, wherever they may be, and action will be taken.”
He pointed out that earlier governments often did not act or respond with limited measures. “That approach is behind us now. The country has adopted a new direction under PM Modi’s leadership, one that meets every challenge with a firm response,” he said.
Shah said that Operation Sindoor has conveyed a strong message globally that anyone threatening the Indian army, its people, or its borders will face serious consequences.
“Prime Minister Modi has made it clear that any attack on India will be met with a powerful response,” he said. “If someone attacks us, then a bullet will be answered with a bomb.”
Following Operation Sindoor, Shah said that PM Modi viewed the situation as a national issue. “As a result, it was decided that an all-party delegation of MPs would visit various countries to expose Pakistan’s role in supporting terrorism,” he said, adding that these delegations have since been formed.
