Twenty sic- 25 tourists , and a Kashmiri brave heart Adil Shah , were killed in this carnage , which shocked the entire world . He has vowed to save Kashmir from the conspiracies of the terrorists and their patrons to destroy it again, and has summoned the will power of the whole nation for the delivering justice to the families of the victims .
Prime Minister Modi to whom the world listens with rapt attention because of his standing and credibility as a man of peace in the comity of nations , at the very start of his April 27, 2025 , rendition of his monthly broadcast “ Mann ki Baat” , spoke of the carnage in Pahalgam , and said that how it has pained the whole country and united the nation in grief in solidarity with the families of the victims of the barbarism that played on the beautiful meadow on Tuesday , and also demonstrated the resolve to fight against terrorism.
Prime Minister Modi’s each and every word speaks of deep pain in his heart. “ The terrorist incident that took place in Pahalgam on 22nd of April has hurt every citizen of the country . Every Indian holds deep sympathies for the affected families .”
The PM reflected and manifested each and every citizen’s feeling as he said: No matter which state one belongs to , no matter which language one speaks , one is feeling the pain of those who have lost their loved ones in this attack . I can feel that the blood of every Indian is on the boil. After seeing pictures of the terrorist attack. “
Modi has promised , “ harshest punishment” to the perpetrators and the conspirators of this terror attack; these words have a ring of credibility . Under his leadership, the country had conducted surgical and aerial strikes in 2016 and 2019 after the Pakistan sponsored terror attacks in Uri and Pulwama respectively . But this time , terrorists have crossed all the red lines , underestimated the Indian nation’s patience and commitment against terrorism.
The massacre of tourists at this scale and nature never took place in enarly-36 year-old history of Kashmir riddled with terror attacks of various nature and manifestation. Tourists, too, were targeted – grenades were thrown on their convoys, fired upon, but Pahalgam surpassed all the brutalities . The nation has been assured of the retaliation of the attack . The Indus Waters Treaty has been kept in abeyance , diplomatic presence has been downgraded and feeling the pinch, Pakistan is now offering a neutral probe into the incident , but again with a spin that it should be “ neutral and transparent.”
That’s a catch . In the aftermath of the terror attack on Indian Air Force Station in January 2016 , Pakistan was asked to join the investigations, and despite all the evidence pointing fingers at Jaish-e-Mohammad , the terror group based in Pakistan , Islamabad denied everything . What can be neutral or transparent probe when Pakistan’s intensions are opaque . It wants to hide all its acts of terror, terror training camps .
As he reflected on the attack, he also looked at its roots and the sinister objectives of the enemies of peace . “ The attack in Pahalgam shows the desperation of the patrons of terrorism , displays their cowardice , at a time when peace was returning to Kashmir , there was a vibrancy in schools and colleges , construction work had gained unprecedented pace , democracy was getting stronger , the number of tourists was increasing at a record rate , people’s income was increasing , new opportunities were being created for the youth. “
“The enemies of the country , the enemies of Jammu and Kashmir , did not like that. The terrorists and the masterminds of terror want Kashmir to be destroyed again and hence they executed such a big conspiracy . In this war, against terrorism , the unity of the country , the solidarity of 140 crore Indians, is our biggest strength.. This unity is the basis of our decisive fight against terrorism . We have to strengthen our resolve to face the challenges that has come up before the country . We have to demonstrate strong will power of nation . Today, the world is watching after this terror attack , the whole country is speaking in one voice.”
Prime Minister did not name the country that patronizes terrorists , but the Indians know which country is that wants to destroy Kashmir and test the patience of 140 crore Indians. Pm has spoken of war against terrorism to save Kashmir
