He then posted a picture of an almost empty flight.

About Pahalgam terror attack

On April 22, terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, while leaving several others injured. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans were killed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday issued a stern warning to the terrorists responsible for the attack on innocent tourists in Jammu and Kashmir`s Pahalgam, assuring that the perpetrators and conspirators of this heinous act will face the harshest response. 

He also promised the families of the victims that justice would be served.

Addressing the 121st episode of his monthly radio programme `Mann Ki Baat`, PM Modi said, “Today, as I talk my heart out with you, there is deep agony in my heart. The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack has left every citizen heartbroken. Every Indian feels deep sympathy for the families of the victims. A person may belong to any state or speak any language, but they feel the pain of those who lost their loved ones in this attack.”

The Prime Minister stressed that in this war against terrorism, the unity of the nation and the solidarity of 140 crore Indians is the nation`s greatest strength.
