He reaffirmed India’s firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism, asserting that India will continue to do so.

This agreement comes in the wake of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 tourists were killed in an attack orchestrated by Pakistan-based terror groups, triggered nationwide outrage.

In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, a military offensive targeting terror launchpads and infrastructure across the Line of Control. The operation, which reportedly caused significant damage to militant camps, was widely viewed as a strong message against cross-border terrorism.
