Zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism: PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his dissatisfaction with past governments on Sunday, claiming they failed to take action against Pakistan following terrorist attacks on India, despite clear evidence of Pakistan's involvement and public calls for action. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the surgical strikes, Modi emphasized India's unwavering zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.
He hailed the September 28-29, 2016, surgical strikes against Pakistan as a historic achievement, crediting the Indian Army for striking terrorist hideouts across the Line of Control. Modi stated that these strikes showcased India's resolute counter-terrorism policy. Throughout the past decade, India has consistently sent a clear message: if terrorists dare to threaten India, they will face a fitting response.
He recalled a time when serial blasts were a common occurrence, citing the September 13, 2008, blasts in Delhi and the subsequent 26/11 attack in Mumbai. Modi lamented that despite such demands for action following every terror attack, such pleas were often ignored and people waited for time to pass.
