Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday was in Bihar, the state where he took a pledge post Pahalgam attack that “India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist, their handlers, and their backers."

Nearly three months after his pledge, PM Modi attended an event in Motihari where he said: “I took the resolve of Operation Sindoor from the land of Bihar, and the entire world watches its success today."

As many as 26 tourists were killed in the scenic resort town of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. The Prime Minister was in Saudi Arabia at the time but cut short his official visit to return to India. Multiple meetings followed after he landed in New Delhi, but the country was waiting to hear from its Prime Minister, who said in a post on X on April 22, “Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice."

As the Indian armed forces were planning to dismantle terror infrastructure across the border, PM Modi made his first public appearance in Bihar on April 24, two days after the Pahalgam attack.

In Bihar’s Madhubani, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone and dedicated to the nation multiple development projects worth over Rs 13,480 crore on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day.

In his first public remark on the Pahalgam attack during his speech, he declared that the terrorists responsible for the attack, along with those who conspired it, will face punishment beyond their imagination."

The Prime Minister declared from the soil of Bihar that India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist, their handlers, and their backers, emphasising that India will pursue them to the ends of the earth.

“India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism, and terrorism will not go unpunished. Every effort will be made to ensure justice is served and the entire nation is firm in this resolve against terrorism", he stressed.

Within a fortnight of his pledge, India struck nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and PoK, including the headquarters of terrorist groups Jaish and Lashkar under Operation Sindoor.
