Modi Vows to Pursue Attackers to ‘Ends of the Earth’
Bihar: “I say to the whole world: India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backer,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday in his first speech since Tuesday’s attack in the Himalayan region.
“We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth”, he added, without naming any entity.
Modi, who was speaking in Bihar state to launch development projects, first led two minutes of silence in memory of those killed.
“I say this unequivocally: whoever has carried out this attack, and the ones who devised it, will be made to pay beyond their imagination”, he said, speaking in Hindi in front of a large crowd.
“They will certainly pay. Whatever little land these terrorists have, it’s time to reduce it to dust. The willpower of 1.4 billion Indians will break the backbone of these terrorists.”
“Terrorism will not go unpunished,” Modi said. “Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done.”
He finished his speech with rare comments in English, directing them to an audience abroad.
