While addressing a public meeting in Bihar's Madhubani on April 24, the PM had vowed stern action against the perpetrators of the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack, saying India will "pursue the terrorists to the end of the earth”.

“Today, from the soil of Bihar, I say to the whole world. India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth. India's spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished,” the prime minister said.

The PM said Pakistan and the world have seen the "power of India's daughters' Sindoor".  He  also hailed  the "unprecedented valour and courage of the BSF" during Operation Sindoor. "While performing the sacred duty of serving the motherland, BSF Sub Inspector Imtiaz laid down his life at the border on 10 May. I pay my respectful tribute to this son of Bihar... The enemy has seen the power of Operation Sindoor. They should understand that this is just one arrow in our quiver. India's fight against terrorism has neither stopped nor halted. If the hood of terror rises again, India will crush it by pulling it out of its hole, " he said.
