Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department Minister Vikramaditya Singh has called for a resolute and decisive response against terrorism in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
He welcomed the decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty and said it should be followed by long-term actions.
“The entire nation of 140 crore people, including 70 lakh residents of Himachal Pradesh, stand with the Prime Minister and the Indian armed forces. There should be decisive action. There is no room for hesitation,” Vikramaditya Singh told reporters.
“History is witness that in 1971, when Pakistan cast an evil eye on India, it was under Indira Gandhi’s leadership that Pakistan was split, and Bangladesh was formed. Now, the entire country expects decisive steps from the Prime Minister. This is not just a battle on the ground. Today, wars are fought economically. Diplomatic pressure must be built on Pakistan,” he added.
He said that suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty should be followed “by long-term actions so that Pakistan realizes the consequences of supporting terror”.
Calling the mock drills being conducted by the Ministry of Home Affairs a necessary step, Singh emphasized that preparedness is important.
“Necessary protocols shared with the states and union territories must be followed without fail.” he said.
Vikramaditya Singh said countries across the world have expressed solidarity with India in its fight against terrorism.
Tensions have risen between India and Pakistan following Pahalgam terror attack in which 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen were killed.
