Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh paid tribute to the innocent people killed in the cowardly April 22 terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
During a meeting in the State Secretariat, Chief Minister Dhami and the officers on Thursday observed two minutes of silence and mourned the loss of lives in the terror attack.
The Uttarakhand CM has also voiced strong support for the Centre’s recent decisions in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, particularly the move to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan.
The decisions were made during a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking to mediapersons, CM Dhami called the move “historic and tough,”. He emphasised that India has begun implementing a bold response to terrorism under the decisive leadership of the Prime Minister.
Dhami said that these bold steps taken under the leadership of the Prime Minister not only seal India’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy against terrorism, but it has also sent a clear message to the enemies that India is ready to give a befitting reply to every terrorist attack.
He said that by banning the Indus Water Treaty, the central government has made it clear that now blood and water cannot flow together. This decisive decision will shatter the plans of Pakistan, which shelters and promotes terrorism. Similarly, other decisions, including the closure of the Attari border check post, have also sent a strong message to Pakistan.
