PM Modi was in Bihar on Thursday when he made this speech at a time when the country is shocked by the heinous crime committed to fellow unarmed tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, the land that has constantly faced terrorist attacks but over the last few years were trying to get back to 'normal'.

Tuesday's bloodshed in Pahalgam - where at least 26 tourists were killed in a hail of gunfire - marks the deadliest militant attack in Kashmir since 2019. The victims weren't soldiers or officials, but civilians on holiday in one of India's most picturesque valleys.
