Srinagar, 21 June 2024 – In a stern message to militants operating in Jammu and Kashmir, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to teach them a hard lesson. Modi's statement came during a public meeting in Srinagar on Thursday (June 20), reported by various Indian media outlets including the Indian Express.

Prime Minister Modi emphasized that his government would not hesitate to take strict action against those engaging in militant activities in the region. "We will teach the enemies of the state a hard lesson," he declared, underscoring the government's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.

Modi also assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the day is approaching when they will elect a new government through their own votes. He expressed optimism about the future of the region, promising that a better and brighter future for Jammu and Kashmir as a state is imminent.

Modi's remarks come in the wake of a horrific terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir, which coincided with his swearing-in for a third consecutive term as Prime Minister. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 12 people, prompting Modi to direct security forces to take decisive measures to prevent further armed attacks.

Jammu and Kashmir have been a focal point of militant activities, and the government has been under pressure to ensure security and stability in the region. Modi's tough stance is seen as a response to the escalating violence and as an assurance to the people of the region that their safety and democratic rights are a top priority.

Modi's promise of a democratic election in Jammu and Kashmir aims to instill hope among the residents for a stable and self-determined future. His strong message to militants indicates the government's commitment to restoring peace and order in the region.

As the situation continues to evolve, the people of Jammu and Kashmir look forward to a future where they can participate in the democratic process and live in a secure environment.
