New Delhi, May 10, 2025: Any future terror attack on Indian soil will now be treated as an “act of war,” with the government prepared to respond with full force, according to top government sources.
The move marks a significant shift in India’s counter-terrorism policy under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. By drawing a firm line, the government aims to signal a zero-tolerance stance toward terrorism and deliver a strong warning to those orchestrating or supporting such acts.
Sources indicate that the decision is also meant to send a direct message to Pakistan, a nation frequently accused of harboring and aiding terror groups that have repeatedly targeted India.
