As tensions continue to prevail at the border over a week after the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister on Saturday said that India is committed to initiating firm action against terrorists and their backers. This comes as the Pakistani Army continues unprovoked firing at the LoC for the ninth consecutive day.
Pahalgam Attack And Its Aftermath
The Pahalgam attack was carried out by four armed terrorists, linked to The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. In addition, two of the assailants were confirmed to be Pakistani nationals, according to IANS.
In response to the Jammu and Kashmir terror attack, the Indian government conducted a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting on April 23, chaired by Prime Minister Modi.
After the meeting, New Delhi announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and ordered the closure of the Attari border. India also cancelled all visas issued to Pakistani nationals and initiated a crackdown on Pakistani YouTube channels and X handles.
After the meeting, PM Modi had warned that India would identify and punish terrorists and their supporters.
“We will identify, trace, and punish every terrorist and their supporters. We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth,” the PM had said.
