On April 22, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, primarily tourists, in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack was executed by terrorists linked to The Resistance Front, a group associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba, and was noted for its chilling religious targeting. Modi expressed solidarity with the victims' families and reiterated India's commitment to combat terrorism. In response to the attack, India initiated Operation Mahadev, a 93-day military operation that successfully neutralized the attackers, and Operation Sindoor, aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure in Pakistan. These operations highlighted India's resolve and capability in counter-terrorism. Following these military actions, tensions with Pakistan escalated, resulting in drone incursions and retaliatory strikes. Nonetheless, military officials from both nations managed to reach an understanding to de-escalate hostilities by May 10, 2025, while maintaining vigilance along the border. Modi's statements reflect India's unwavering stance against terrorism and its dedication to national security.
