NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday reiterated his resolve to take decisive action against terrorists and their backers, amid heightened tensions with Pakistan over terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
"We are committed to take firm and decisive action against terrorists and those who support them," PM Modi said at a press meet with visiting Angolan President Joao Lourenco.
He thanked Angola for extending support to India in its fight against cross-border terrorism .
"We are of the same opinion that terrorism is the biggest threat to humanity. I thanked President Lourenco and Angola for their condolences to the people killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam," PM Modi stated.
The prime minister, who was on an official visit to Saudi Arabia on the day of the attack, a trip he cut short and returned home, has repeatedly declared that the "perpetrators and conspirators" of the attack would face the "harshest punishment."
On April 22, Pakistan-backed terrorists gunned down 26 male tourists in Pahalgam. India responded to the attack through a slew of diplomatic measures, with Pakistan retaliating through a similar set of measures.
However, it is the suspension of the Indus Waters treaty which has rattled Pakistan the most. It has called the suspension an "act of war," and several Pakistani politicians have made provocative remarks on the subject.
Pakistan has also repeatedly claimed that an attack by India was "imminent," and threatened to use nuclear weapons in the event of a full-scale war.
