India Takes Tough Measures Against Pakistan Following Attack
On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi described terrorism as the "biggest threat" to humanity and reiterated India’s resolve to take “firm and decisive” action against terrorists and their backers, amid heightened tensions with Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack.
"We both agree that terrorism is the biggest threat to humanity. I thanked President Lourenco and the people of Angola for their condolences on the loss of lives in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam," Modi said after wide-ranging talks with Angolan President Joao Manuel Goncalves Lourenco.
"We are committed to take firm and decisive action against the terrorists and those who support them. We thank Angola for their support in our fight against cross-border terrorism," he added.
India has announced a series of punitive measures against Pakistan, including a complete ban on imports, suspension of postal services, and denial of entry to Pakistani-flagged ships at Indian ports.
