April 29, 2025 — Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that the Indian armed forces have been granted complete freedom to choose the mode, targets, and timing of their response.
Addressing the nation during a public event, PM Modi condemned the attack that claimed the lives of several security personnel and left many injured. He assured the citizens that the sacrifice of the brave soldiers will not go in vain.
“Our forces have the full authority to respond at a time and in a manner they deem appropriate. Those behind the attack will pay a heavy price,” said the Prime Minister.
The attack, which took place in the Pahalgam region of Jammu and Kashmir, is believed to be the work of cross-border militants. High-level security meetings are currently underway, and intelligence inputs are being closely analyzed.
The Prime Minister’s strong message comes amid rising tensions in the region, with security forces on high alert and combing operations ongoing in the affected areas.
