Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday commemorated the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack on its anniversary, honouring those who lost their lives and reaffirming India’s steadfast resolve to combat terrorism.
In a message shared on X, the Prime Minister said, “Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss.”
Reflecting the nation’s collective grief and determination, he added, “As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.”
The Pahalgam terror attack last year had sent shockwaves across the country, claiming several innocent lives and drawing condemnation from leaders across the political spectrum. The attack, which targeted civilians in the popular tourist hub of Jammu and Kashmir, had raised fresh concerns over security in the region and led to intensified counter-terror operations.
In the aftermath, the government has consistently underscored its zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, with a focus on dismantling terror networks and strengthening security mechanisms, particularly in sensitive areas like Jammu and Kashmir.
On the anniversary, tributes poured in from across the country, as leaders and citizens alike remembered the victims and stood in solidarity with their families. The Prime Minister’s message captured the shared sentiment of remembrance while reinforcing India’s firm resolve to counter terrorism in all its forms.
