PM Modi didn’t mince words while pointing fingers at Pakistan, saying that the neighbouring country has once again tried to strike at the core of “Insaniyat” (humanity) and “Kashmiriyat” (the cultural ethos of Kashmir).
Referring to the cowardly in Pahalgam terror attack that claimed innocent lives, the Prime Minister said these acts are designed to provoke fear and chaos but will ultimately fail.
He stated, “Those who sponsor and support terrorism are trying to break the spirit of Kashmir. But we will not let them succeed.”
In a bold assertion, Modi assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir that development projects will continue with full force. He emphasized that India is committed to rebuilding the region’s economy, improving infrastructure, creating jobs, and restoring normalcy.

He noted that their sacrifices will not go in vain and that the government remains fully committed to strengthening national security and intelligence networks.
“The blood of our martyrs will inspire us to eliminate terrorism from its roots. Their courage will live on in our mission,” he said, drawing emotional responses from the crowd.
Addressing citizens across India, Modi appealed for unity and calm in the face of provocations. He called on all communities to stand together in support of Kashmir and its people.
“Kashmir belongs to every Indian, and together we must protect its dignity and future. Let no one divide us,” he said, reinforcing the theme of national solidarity.
In a strong diplomatic undertone, the Prime Minister called on the international community to hold nations that support terrorism accountable. Without naming Pakistan directly again, Modi emphasized that global peace requires global responsibility.
He urged world leaders to recognize the consistent patterns of cross-border terrorism and to isolate rogue states that threaten peace with proxy wars and extremist ideologies.
