The prime minister's visit comes after days of intense conflict between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor under which India struck terror sites in the neighbouring country. Modi said on X, "Earlier this morning, I went to AFS Adampur and met our brave air warriors and soldiers. It was a very special experience to be with those who epitomise courage, determination and fearlessness. India is eternally grateful to our armed forces for everything they do for our nation."
In his address to the nation on Monday, PM Modi expressed his sorrow over the killing of innocents in the horrific Pahalgam terror attack. "The merciless killing of innocent citizens in front of their family and their children on the basis of their religion was a very gruesome face of terror and cruelty. This was also a disgusting attempt to break the harmony and unity of the country. For me personally this was very painful," he had said.
