New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday warned terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack that they should not think that they have “won the war”. In his first public remarks following the Pahalgam, Shah said: “The fight is not yet over. They (terrorists) should not think that after killing our 27 people they have won the war,” he said, speaking at an event in Assam.
Shah said every single terrorist will be sought after and punished for killing civilians in Pahalgam and said that the Narendra Modi government will uproot terrorism and respond to the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Minister made the comments at an event in New Delhi where he dedicated a road and unveiled a statue of Bodofa Upendranath Brahma.
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first remarks following the terror attack at a public event in Bihar’s Madhubani, issued a similar warning. “We will go to the ends of the earth to find the perpetrators,” PM Modi had said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had also vowed a “loud and clear” response to the Pahalgam terror attack when he spoke to the press a day after the attack unfolded.
At the event in New Delhi, Shah said that India has a zero tolerance approach to terrorism and that under Narendra Modi’s leadership, India aims to “uproot terrorism” from the country.
“Every single person involved in the attack will receive a befitting reply. The victims of the attack must know that not only is it their personal loss but also a loss for us on a personal level. Whoever carried out dastardly terror attack in Pahalgam will not be spared,” he said.
“PM Modi will not spare anyone at any cost and has a zero tolerance policy towards terrorism,” he further added while speaking at the event where Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was also present. (Agencies)
