On the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the 26 victims and reiterated India’s uncompromising stance against terrorism, stating that the country will never bow to terror in any form.

He подчеркed that India stands united in grief and determination, adding that terrorist designs will never succeed against the resolve of the nation. The attack, which took place on April 22, 2025, remains one of the most shocking incidents of civilian-targeted violence in recent years.
The Pahalgam attack saw 26 people killed after terrorists opened fire on tourists in the scenic valley, reportedly identifying victims based on religion. The incident triggered widespread outrage across the country and led to intensified security operations in the region. In the aftermath, the Indian Army launched extensive counter-terror measures to track those responsible.

As part of the response, the armed forces carried out sustained search operations in difficult terrain under what was later referred to as Operation Mahadev.

On the eve of the anniversary, the Indian Army also issued a strong statement reaffirming its commitment to justice, warning that any breach of national security or acts against humanity would receive a decisive response. The force reiterated that “India stands united,” underscoring continued vigilance against terror threats.
The anniversary comes amid renewed reflection on the broader security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, where counter-terror operations have remained ongoing since the attack.
