In the 121st episode of Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation and the world. He began his speech with a strong message against terrorism. PM Modi stated that peace was returning to Kashmir, with an increasing number of tourists and rapid progress in development work. However, in this context of growth, the enemies of Kashmir attempted to disrupt and destroy its progress once again. The Prime Minister emphasised that the unity of all citizens is paramount in the fight against terrorism. He also expressed that the entire world stands with India’s 1.4 billion people in this battle against terrorism.

PM Modi expressed deep pain as he spoke to the nation, acknowledging the sorrow caused by the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. He mentioned that the images of the attack had left every citizen angry and saddened, and that the entire nation shared deep sympathy for the affected families. He stressed that the attack was a reflection of the terrorists’ desperation, particularly when peace was returning to Kashmir, and that the enemies of the region could not tolerate this progress.

The Prime Minister also conveyed that world leaders had reached out to him through calls, letters, and messages, condemning the heinous attack. He stated that in India’s fight against terrorism, the entire world stood with 1.4 billion Indians. He reassured the families who lost their loved ones that they would receive justice and that the perpetrators and masterminds behind the attack would face the strictest punishment.

“Today, the world is watching, and after this terrorist attack, the entire country is speaking in one voice. The outrage that exists in our country is the same outrage felt across the world,” the PM expressed.
