Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a fiery address from Bihar on Wednesday, delivered a stern warning to the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack, declaring that India will pursue justice with unrelenting force. His remarks came just a day after the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) announced sweeping measures in response to the deadly strike in South Kashmir.
“Today I say to the whole world,” the Prime Minister declared, “India will identify and punish the terrorists. Terrorism will not go unpunished. Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done.”
Modi’s address followed the CCS’s decision to suspend the 1960 Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, pending credible steps from Islamabad to end its support for cross-border terrorism. The move marks a significant escalation in diplomatic and strategic pressure following the brutal assault.

The attack, which occurred in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, left 26 people dead, most of them tourists, and is being described as the worst in the Valley since Pulwama 2019. Families across India are in mourning, and the demand for a firm response has grown louder.
Calling the strike “an attack on the soul of India,” PM Modi vowed, “Those who carried out this attack and those behind it will be punished beyond imagination. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth. The time to bury such forces has come.”
With the nation’s mood turning defiant, PM Modi’s message sends a clear signal to enemies of the state — India will not rest until justice is served.
