People involved in Pahalgam attack will get strong response; will hunt down those who plotted it: Rajnath
NEW DELHI, Apr 23(PTI): People involved in the cowardly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam will get a “strong response” in the “near future” and India cannot be “intimidated” by any such terrorist acts, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday, in the first clear indication of India’s possible response to the incident.
He also said that India will not only hunt down those who perpetrated the attack but will also trace the people who conspired to carry out the nefarious act on Indian soil while “sitting behind the scenes”.
The defence minister’s remarks while delivering the annual Arjan Singh Memorial lecture came a day after 26 people were killed by terrorists in Pahalgam in an attack that triggered wide-spread outrage within India and abroad.
