NEW DELHI, APRIL 29 (STC): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday has given ‘complete operational freedom’ to the armed forces to inflict harshest punishment on terrorists and their patrons involved in Pahalgam terror attack. He has vowed to pursue the terrorists and their patrons, a clear reference to Pakistan which has a history of sponsoring terror strikes in India, to the “ends of earth” and inflict harshest punishment on them.
A Press Trust of India (PTI) report states this while releasing the alerts on the Prime Minister chairing a meeting with the top defence establishment, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and the chiefs of three services. Notably, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan was also part of the meeting, which was held amid India weighing its countermeasures following the Pahalgam terror attack which left at least 26 tourists dead.
According to the PTI alerts, PM Modi said that the Indian armed forces have complete operational freedom to decide the mode, targets and the timing for India’s upcoming attack.
“It is our national resolve to deal a crushing blow to terrorism,” reported the agency citing officials aware of the development. (STC)
