New Delhi, April 23, 2025 – India is reeling from the brutal Pahalgam Terror attack that left 26 dead, including locals, foreigners, and an Indian Navy officer. In the aftermath of this heinous act, the Indian government has pledged a decisive response, warning that those responsible—and those behind them—will face severe consequences.
Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking from the site of the tragedy, expressed grief and unwavering resolve:
“With a heavy heart, I paid my respects to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly act will not be spared.”
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh echoed the sentiment, promising justice and reaffirming India’s zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism.
“We lost many innocent lives in this cowardly act. We are deeply anguished. I want to assure the people of India that every necessary step will be taken. We will not just reach the attackers but also expose and punish those orchestrating terror from the shadows,” Singh said.
Pahalgam Terror: Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh Pledge Action, Justice
Sources indicate that India is preparing strong diplomatic measures in response, including the possible cancellation of the Indus Waters Treaty, downgrading or severing diplomatic ties with Pakistan, and shutting down the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
The attack follows a wave of inflammatory anti-Hindu rhetoric from Pakistan’s military leadership, further straining already fragile bilateral relations.
Targeted Killing: “They Were Looking for Non-Muslims”
Eyewitness accounts have described chilling details of the Pahalgam Terror attack.
“They were looking for non-Muslims to shoot,” said one survivor, whose husband was among the dead. The deliberate targeting has sparked outrage across the nation and calls for both domestic action and global condemnation.
Nation in Mourning, Government in Action
Flags across India are flying at half-mast as the country mourns yet another act of cross-border terrorism. High-level security meetings are underway, and intelligence agencies have been put on high alert.
As the nation comes to terms with the Pahalgham Terror Attack Tragedy, the Indian government’s message is clear: Terror will not go unpunished, and peace will not be held hostage.
