"Today, from the soil of Bihar, I say to the whole world, India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and those backing them. We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth. India's spirit will never be broken by terrorism," the prime minister assured

"Whoever orchestrated this dastardly attack, those terrorists and the masterminds, will be punished way beyond their imagination," he added.

Expressing grief, he said, "In this terror attack, someone lost their son, brother, and life partner. Our sorrow is the same from Kargil to Kanyakumari. The enemies of the country have attacked our soul."

PM Modi further added, "And terrorism will not go unpunished; every effort will be made to ensure justice is done. The entire nation is firm in this resolve. Everyone who believes in humanity is with us. I thank the people of various countries and their leaders who have stood with us during these times."
