Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (Apr 22) paid tribute to the 26 people who lost their lives in the horrifying Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Reiterating India's firm resolve to combat terrorism in all its forms, the PM expressed solidarity with families who lost their loved ones a year ago, and said that the country stands determined to dismantle "the heinous designs of terrorists." One year ago today, on April 22, 2025, the tragic Pakistan-backed terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's popular tourist spot Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 innocent people. Following the terror attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Subsequently, after a four-day conflict between the two countries, a ceasefire was achieved on May 10.
