NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath issued a stern warning to terrorists responsible for the recent Pahalgam attack, stating that “India is ready to retaliate in whichever language they understand.”
While addressing the public during a rally in Lakhimpur Kheri, Yogi condemned the attack in Jammu and Kashmir and said that there cannot be any place for terrorism and anarchy in a civilised society.
“UP government pays condolences to the people who lost their lives in Pahalgam terror attack and condemns this cowardly attack. There cannot be any place for terrorism and anarchy in a civilised society,” Yogi said.
“The Indian Government’s model of security, service, and good governance is based on the development, welfare of the poor, and security of all. This new India has a zero-tolerance policy against these activities and we are ready to retaliate in whichever language they understand. Yeh naya Bharat kisi ko chhedta nahin lekin agar koi chhedega toh usko chhodega bhi nahin. (This new India under the leadership of Narendra Modi does not tease anyone but if anyone dares to do it, they won’t be spared),” he added.
On April 24, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met the family of Shubham Dwivedi of Kanpur, who was one of the 26 innocent victims who lost their lives in the attack.
Earlier on Thursday, Yogi met the family of Shubham Dwivedi of Kanpur, who was one of the 26 innocent victims who lost their lives in the attack.
“On April 22, a terrorist attack took place in J-K’s Pahalgam in which one person from Kanpur was killed. Shubham Dwivedi got married two months ago, and he was killed in the terror attack there. This is a very cowardly attack by the terrorists and shows that terrorism is on its last breath,” Yogi said.
“This type of incident is not acceptable in a country like India. The actions of the central government will put the last nail in the coffin of terrorism,” he added.
The attack, carried out by terrorists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22, is one of the deadliest in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed. The attack was one of the biggest terror attacks in the region after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
