Pahalgam terror attack: Promising a ‘beyond-belief’ response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday roared that India is going to ‘identify, track and punish terrorists and the perpetrators of this heinous crime’ till the end of earth. Terrorists opened fire in a meadow near the tourist hub of Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday afternoon, killing 26 persons, mostly tourists.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a large crowd gathered for a National Panchayati Raj Day programme observed silence for a few moments to pay homage to the victims of the terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.

Before beginning his speech, Modi urged the gathering to observe silence as a mark of respect to “our family members” who lost their lives on April 22 in Pahalgam.

Modi urged the gathering to remain seated in silence to pay homage to the victims of the terror attack.

Earlier, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar condemned the terror attack at Pahalgam and told the prime minister that the entire nation was united against terrorism.

Panchayati Raj Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh said the entire nation had belief in Modi’s strength and were confident he would give a befitting reply to the perpetrators of terror at an appropriate time.

The prime minister was speaking for the first time in a public gathering after Tuesday’s terror attack in Baisaran near Kashmir’s resort town of Pahalgam in which 26 people were gunned down.
