Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a public gathering in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir, praised the region's youth for their unwavering resolve against terrorism. He condemned Pakistan's deliberate targeting of J&K's tourism industry and cultural fabric, calling it an attack on "humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam."
Modi highlighted the success of Operation Sindoor, conducted on the night of May 6-7, which dealt a "decisive blow to Pakistan-based terrorists and terror camps." This operation is seen as a significant step in India's counterterrorism efforts in the region.
Emphasizing the resilience of the local population, Modi said,
"The youth of J&K have now made up their mind to give a befitting reply to terrorism, which burnt schools in the Valley and destroyed the future of two generations." This statement underscores the determination among young people to overcome the scars left by years of violence and to rebuild their future.
The Prime Minister's remarks reflect a broader narrative of hope and resistance, portraying the youth as key agents in the fight against terrorism's lingering impact on Jammu and Kashmir's social and economic life.
"Pakistan for targeting the region's tourism industry and attacking humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam," Modi said, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the conflict that affects not only security but also the cultural and economic well-being of the region.
This address comes at a time when Jammu and Kashmir continues to grapple with the legacy of terrorism, and the government's focus remains on restoring peace and normalcy through both security operations and community resilience.
