Mann Ki Baat: PM Modi sends stern warning to 'conspirators and perpetrators' of Pahalgam terror attack

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday (Apr 27), strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, saying it has hurt every citizen of the country.

Expressing deep condolences for the families of the victims who lost their loved ones in the attack, PM Modi said that the whole world stands with the 1.4 billion Indians in the fight against terrorism.

"The terrorist incident that took place in Pahalgam on the 22nd of April has hurt every citizen of the country. Every Indian holds deep sympathies for the affected families," PM Modi said in the 121st episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat.

He said that the terrorists and their masterminds want to destroy Kashmir again and hence executed a big conspiracy. 

"At a time when peace was returning to Kashmir, enemies of the nation and J&K did not like it. Terrorists and their masters want Kashmir to be destroyed once again. That is why such a big conspiracy was hatched. In this war against terrorism, the unity of the nation is our biggest strength... We must strengthen our resolve to face this challenge," the Indian prime minister said.

Highlighting the global condemnation of the attack, he said that the world leaders "wrote letter, sent messages" and "strongly condemned" the heinous act.

"Global leaders have called me, written letters, sent messages. Everyone has strongly condemned this heinous terrorist attack... The entire world stands with the 1.4 billion Indians in our fight against terrorism. Once again, I assure the victims' families that they will get justice," he said.
