Highlighting the BJP-led government’s response to terror attacks, Shah said India carried out decisive military operations after incidents such as Uri and Pulwama, presenting them as examples of the Modi government’s security policy. He said these actions reflected a shift in India’s approach to terrorism under the current leadership.
