Every country has come together, supporting India and its people in this war against terrorism,” Shah said, underscoring the unity in the international community against such threats.

Shah made it clear that the government would not rest until those responsible for terrorism were held accountable. "I want to reaffirm that our fight will continue until terrorism is eradicated, and those who have committed these heinous acts will certainly face the appropriate punishment," he added.
