“It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country and it will be accomplished. In this fight not only 140 crore Indians but the whole world is standing with India in this fight, all the countries of the world have come together and are standing with the people of India in this fight against terrorism. I want to reiterate the resolve that until terrorism is eradicated, our fight will continue and those who have committed it will certainly be given appropriate punishment,” the Home Minister added.“Today, I want to tell the public that we have been fighting strongly on the policy of zero tolerance against those who have been running terrorism in Kashmir since the 90s. Today, they (terrorists) should not think that they have won the battle by taking the lives of our citizens. I want to tell all those who spread terror that this is not the end of the battle; every person will be given a befitting reply,” Shah said.Tension escalated between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, in which 26 people were killed.Following the Pahalgam attack the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Naredra Modi, met on April 23 and was briefed in detail on the terror incident.
