Terrorists have made a big mistake, will have to pay a heavy price:PM Modi

Amid the much agitation across the country against the Pulwama terror attack yesterday in Kashmir,  Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his tribute to martyrs at wreath-laying ceremony at Palam Airport, Delhi today. Apart from PM, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and other Ministers were also present on the occasion. 

Earlier PM Modi has said that perpetrators of Pulwama terror attack act will be punished. He has warned the perpetrators and those aiding and abetting terrorists that they have made a big mistake and will have to pay a heavy price. Stating that free hand has been given to the security forces to act, PM dared Pakistan not to live in illusion that it can destabilize India.

He was addressing a public gathering today before flagging off Vande Bharat Express between New Delhi and Varansi from New Delhi Railway Station.

“At the outset, my tributes to the soldiers martyred in the terror attack in Pulwama. They have laid down their lives for the country. My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their near and dear ones in this hour of grief.

PM said he is aware about the deep anger of the people and he said that their blood boils looking at what has happened. At this moment, there are expectations and the feelings of a strong response which is quite natural.

We have given full freedom to the security forces. We have full faith in the bravery and valour of our security forces. I am hopeful that the patriotic fervour will ensure that people will provide correct information to our agencies so that we can intensify our efforts to crush terror.

Let me assure the nation that those behind this attack, the perpetrators of this attack will be punished.

PM said that he can understand the sentiments of those who are criticising us. They have full rights. However, it is my request to all my friends that it is a very sensitive and emotional moment and the nation stands united in its fight against terror. We should speak in one voice and rise above politics.The message which should go across the world is that we are one nation, one voice in our fight against terror, the fight which we have to win.
