PM Modi Accuses Pakistan of Pahalgam Attack Killing 26, Vows Strong Response as Pakistan Rejects Claims

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused Pakistan of orchestrating the Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, with the intent to incite riots and unrest within India. Modi emphasized that any act of terror against India will be treated as an act of war and vowed a strong response without distinguishing between terrorists and their supporters. Pakistan has expressed dismay over Modi's remarks, rejecting the allegations and stating that there is no credible evidence linking Islamabad to the attack. The Indian government continues to maintain a zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also contributing to the discourse through published commentary.
