In a decisive national address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a significant shift in India's counter-terrorism policy, asserting that India will no longer differentiate between terrorists and their sponsors. This announcement follows the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians, primarily Hindu tourists, were killed by The Resistance Front, linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Modi emphasized that any future attacks will prompt immediate and forceful responses, dismissing Pakistan's nuclear threats as ineffective. He reiterated that dialogues with Pakistan will focus solely on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, underscoring India's commitment to national security and a new, assertive doctrine against terrorism.
