Will hunt down every terrorist: Amit Shah on Pahalgam attack
New Delhi, May 2 -- The central government will hunt down each and every terrorist involved in the Pahalgam attack and all of them will be made answerable for the heinous act, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Thursday, asserting that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government will not spare any terrorist.
"Whoever has carried out the dastardly attack in Pahalgam, we will not spare anyone. We will hunt down each and every perpetrator," Shah said at an event in South Delhi.
He said the Modi government has been pursuing a zero-tolerance policy against terrorists and has given strong response, be it insurgency in the northeast or the left-wing extremism in some parts of the country.
"If someone thinks they will escape by carrying out such a cowardly attack, they are wrong. This is Narendra Modi's government. We will not spare anyone," Shah said.
"It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country, and it will be fulfilled. In this fight, not only 140 crore (1.4 billion) people of this country but the entire world is standing with India against terrorism," the senior BJP leader added.
A total of 26 people, 25 tourists and a local, were killed in a terror attack at the picturesque Bairsaran meadow in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on April 22.

They should not understand that by killing our 26 citizens they have won this battle. I want to tell everyone spreading terrorism that we will hunt down each and every perpetrator," Shah said.
