In the wake of the terrorist attack in Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has opted to cut short his official visit to Saudi Arabia. Skipping the scheduled official dinner, the Prime Minister has decided to return to India earlier than planned. Originally set to return tomorrow night, PM Modi will now depart for India tonight and is expected to arrive early Wednesday morning, government sources told News18.
Terrorists from The Resistance Front attacked tourists, killing at least 28 and injured several others, when they were touring the meadows of Bainsram. There were also foreign tourists among those killed.
The attack comes as the Prime Minister embarked on a visit to Saudi Arabia. It also comes amid US Vice President JD Vance’s three-day India trip. He had met Vance earlier on Monday and hosted a dinner for the US Second Family.
The PM was briefed on the situation by Home Minister Amit Shah who vowed to heavily come down on the terrorists involved. According to sources, PM Modi may cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia and return to India earlier than planned.
Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and S Jaishankar also condemned the attack.
“I am deeply pained by the terrorist attack on innocent civilians in Pahalgam, J&K. No words can heal the grief of the families who lost their loved ones. My heart goes out to them. May the injured recover soon. A befitting reply will come soon,” Rijiju said.
