PM Narendra Modi on Sunday, April 27, condemned the Pahalgam terror attack, saying it was a desperate attempt by the enemies of Kashmir and the nation to derail the region’s remarkable progress.
Speaking during the 121st episode of his radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Modi said Kashmir had witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years, with booming tourism, vibrant schools and colleges and a surge in opportunities for the youth.
Saying that the attack in Pahalgam reflects the frustration of those who “patronise terrorism”, PM Modi said, “At a time when peace was returning to Kashmir, there was vibrancy in schools and colleges, the democracy was getting strengthened, there was a rise in tourism and new opportunities were getting generated for the youth, but the enemies of Jammu and Kashmir and the country did not like this. Terrorists want to destroy Kashmir once again”enemies
The PM mentioned how global leaders called and wrote to him, condemning the act and vowed to stand behind India in its fight against terrorism.
