Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday stated that the country’s agencies conducted a complete and successful probe in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and the outcomes are going to put Pakistan in the dock on international platforms.
“Our team has conducted a complete and successful investigation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which agencies around the world will study in the coming days,” Shah said.
The Home Minister, who inaugurated the ‘Anti-Terrorism Conference-2025’ here, said in his address that the Government of India, the Indian security forces, and the people of the country have given a strong and befitting reply to Pakistan’s terrorist masters.
Shah also said that the Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted a thorough investigation into the recent Red Fort car blast. He prasiedd all the agencies for doing an “excellent job” in investigating the entire network.
He said the investigation into the Pahalgam and Delhi blast cases are more than ordinary policing, and can be considered as outstanding examples of watertight investigation.
He said the April 22 attack in Baisaran Valley shook the entire country. The terrorists through their dastardly act wanted to disrupt communal harmony, and affect the development and tourism that has begun in Kashmir.
The Minister added that, however, based on extremely precise intelligence, the country’s armed forces neutralised all three terrorists, delivering a stern message to Pakistan.
He said this is the first terrorist incident in which those who planned the subversive act were punished by India through Operation Sindoor. And those who carried out the act with the weapons provided to them were neutralised through Operation Mahadev.
Meanwhile, Shah also said as per Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of zero-tolerance against terrorism, the annual conference has become a platform to deal with emerging threats.
He said in the last three years, the country has moved forward in the direction of making this conference an annual tradition, with the forum becoming a place where actionable points emerge, and the NIA, along with all related agencies of the states, continuously work throughout the year towards their implementation.
He said India has got success in building a strong anti-terrorism grid across the country.
Shah said the landscape of terrorism in the world is now changing due to the use of technology in terrorist incidents alongside technological advancements, and the country must be prepared to prevent it.
Shah also said that the country has established a new standard of coordination, cooperation, and communication among the DGP Conference, Security Strategy Conference, N-CORD meetings, and the Anti-Terror Conference.
Shah stated that the NIA has worked very hard to create a common ATS structure and has sent it to the police forces of the states.
A common ATS structure across the entire country provides an opportunity for uniform preparation at every level, he said, adding that all DGPs across the country must implement this common ATS structure.
Shah also said the three new initiatives have been launched including the release of updated crime manual prepared by the NIA.
He requested all DGPs to form a team in their respective states and ensure that they study this manual for investigation and prosecution purposes.
Throwing light on the database on organised crime networks, he said that these networks initially operate for ransom and extortion, but when their leaders flee abroad and settle there, they automatically come into contact with terrorist organizations and then use the proceeds from ransom and extortion to spread terrorism within the country.
He said that every state must, under the guidance of the NIA and CBI, and with the cooperation of the IB, utilise the database. UNI APS SSP
