I assure the injured and their families that the government stands firmly with them. All necessary medical care and support will be provided and no effort will be spared in their recovery. Also requested the GMC authorities to ensure proper care and necessary treatment for the recovery of the injured.

To Pakistan, let this be a clear and final message: India will not tolerate your continuous export of terror. The blood of innocents cries for justice, and we will respond with strength, not silence. Those behind this attack will be hunted down and dealt with decisively. Your attempts to destabilize peace in Jammu and Kashmir will fail every time.

This is not just an attack on a place; it’s an attack on peace, humanity, and the spirit of our nation. But let it be known ; we do not bend, we do not break. Our unity is our shield, and our resolve is unshakable.

I offer my deepest condolences to the families of those we lost. Your pain is ours. And your strength inspires us to fight harder for peace, justice and for a terror free Jammu and Kashmir.
