There should be no ambiguity on this point. The nation stands united, and we must take firm action against these terror elements.”

“Whether it pertains to terrorism or crime, it is devoid of caste or religion. Our united effort must concentrate on safeguarding the unity and integrity of the nation,” Yadav stated.
At least 26 tourists lost their lives on Tuesday when armed gunmen opened fire on civilians in Baisaran, Jammu and Kashmir.
Eyewitnesses described how a group of heavily armed terrorists emerged from nearby forests, indiscriminately shooting at civilians, the majority of whom were tourists.
Baisran is a picturesque meadow situated three to four kilometers from the Pahalgam market, accessible only by horse due to the absence of a motorable road.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to New Delhi on Wednesday morning after shortening his trip to Saudi Arabia due to the terrorist attack.
He conducted a brief meeting with NSA Ajit Doval, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri at the airport. PM Modi strongly condemned the terror attack on Tuesday, asserting that those responsible will be held accountable and reaffirming India’s “unwavering” commitment to combat terrorism.
