The minister said the Modi government has been pursuing a zero-tolerance policy and has given a strong response to everything, be it insurgency in the north east or left-wing extremism.
“If someone thinks they will escape by carrying out such a cowardly attack, they are wrong. This is Narendra Modi’s government. We will not spare anyone,” Shah said. “It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country and it will be fulfilled. In this fight, not only 140 crore (1.4 billion) people of this country, but the entire world, is standing with India against terrorism.”
“I want to tell the bereaved families that this loss is not only yours, but every citizen of the country is equally sad. PM Modi has a zero-tolerance policy against those running terrorism in Kashmir since 1990s. We have strongly fought our battle.” Shah said. They should not understand that by killing our 27 citizens they have won this battle. I want to tell everyone spreading terrorism that we will hunt down each and every perpetrator,” Shah said.
