In a powerful address at a public rally in Bihar’s Madhubani district on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed that those behind the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack, along with their conspirators, would face severe consequences.

“They will not escape justice. We will hunt them down and punish them in ways they cannot fathom,” he declared with steely resolve.

Speaking at Jhanjharpur in north Bihar to mark Panchayati Raj Day, just two days after the tragic attack in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed 26 lives, Modi sent a clear message to the world. “From the heartland of Bihar, I say this to all: India will track down every terrorist and their supporters, no matter where they hide. We will chase them to the ends of the earth and ensure they face the full force of our wrath,” he said in English, his words resonating with the gathered crowd.

The attack on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, marked a grim moment, and this was Modi’s first public response to the tragedy.

The Prime Minister also highlighted a slew of welfare initiatives rolled out by the NDA governments at the Centre and in Bihar, aimed at uplifting the common man. During the event, he launched development projects worth ₹13,480 crore, flagged off several trains, including Bihar’s second Amrit Bharat Express, and presented the National Panchayat Awards 2025.

With Bihar gearing up for assembly elections later this year, this was Modi’s second visit to the state since February, when he released the 19th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme in Bhagalpur.

The crowd erupted in cheers when Modi spoke of the nation’s unyielding spirit in the face of terror. “No act of terrorism can break India’s resolve. Those responsible for this attack on our nation’s soul will face justice. The entire country stands united in this fight,” he said, as chants of “Modi! Modi!” echoed through the rally.

He called the attack a “cowardly and inhumane act,” expressing solidarity with the grieving families. “The loss of sons, brothers, and loved ones is a pain felt by every Indian. Their sorrow is our sorrow,” he said, assuring that the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism would guide a robust response.

Modi also acknowledged the global support pouring in. “The world stands with us in this moment. I thank the people and leaders of many nations who have expressed solidarity,” he said. According to reports, several countries have condemned the attack and offered condolences.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had earlier denounced the attack, calling it a moment of national grief and emphasizing the country’s unity. The event saw the presence of senior BJP leaders and NDA allies, who joined Modi on the dais in Madhubani.

As Bihar prepares for its assembly polls in October-November, Modi’s words carried both a promise of justice and a reaffirmation of the nation’s resilience, striking a chord with the people of Bihar and beyond.

Bihar government cabinet

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
