Days after the terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 26 people, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that they will hunt down each and every perpetrator of the terror attack and no one will be spared.
A day after the incident, Shah had met with the families of victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and also visited the spot where the attack took place. He later posted on X, “with a heavy heart, paid last respects to the deceased of the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared.”
Shah was speaking at an event in New for the unveiling of a statue of Upendra Nath Brahma — the patriarch of Assam’s Bodo community — and to name a road after him. Shah asserted that the government will not spare any terrorist. “Whoever has carried out the dastardly attack in Pahalgam, we will not spare anyone. We will hunt down each and every perpetrator,” he said.
“The Modi government has been pursuing a zero-tolerance policy against terrorists. If someone thinks they will escape by carrying out such a cowardly attack, they are wrong. This is Narendra Modi’s government. We will not spare anyone,” he added.
Shah said the government’s fight against terrorism will continue till the menace is completely wiped out. “Do not think that you have won by killing 26 people. Every one of you will be made answerable.” he added.
The event was attended by Assam Chief Minister , Delhi Chief Minister and Chief Executive Member of the Bodoland Territorial Council Promod Boro, among others.
Meanwhile, the chief of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Sadanand Date, on Thursday inspected the site of April 22 terror attack at Baisaran here. DG Date also had a discussion with senior officials of the anti-terror agency probing the case.
The NIA had on April 27 taken over the terrorist attack case in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down. The agency has also intensified search for evidence and questioned scores of eyewitnesses to unravel the terror conspiracy, the officials said.
“NIA teams, aided by forensic and other experts, are checking the entire area thoroughly for evidence to expose the terror conspiracy that led to the attack that has shocked the nation.
The eyewitnesses have been questioned in minute detail to piece together the sequence of events,” an official said.
