India's Bold Stance: Terrorism Now Considered an Act of War

In a significant policy shift, the Indian government has declared that any future acts of terrorism will be regarded as acts of war. This bold stance aims to deter terrorist activities, particularly those linked to Pakistan, following the recent Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives. The government emphasizes its commitment to responding decisively to any threats against the nation, marking a new chapter in India's approach to national security.

Government's Firm Response to Terrorism

New Delhi: The Indian government has declared that any future terrorist act will be treated as an 'act of war' against the nation, with appropriate responses planned, according to high-level government sources on Saturday.

This decisive move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration aims to establish clear boundaries regarding terrorism and signals a strong intent to retaliate against those responsible for such acts, particularly targeting Pakistan, which has connections to various terrorist factions that threaten Indian security.

This announcement follows heightened tensions with Pakistan, especially after the tragic Pahalgam attack on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, predominantly tourists.
