Reacting over one of the deadliest terror attack on security personnel in decades, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that those responsible for the attack will pay a 'very heavy price.
"Security forces have been given complete freedom, the blood of the people is boiling... Our neighbouring country, which has been isolated internationally, thinks such terror attacks can destabilise us, but their plans will not materialise. My condolences to families of those martyred in Pulwama attack, those behind the terror strike will pay a very heavy price," PM Modi said at an event in Delhi, reports PTI.
