Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (June 6, 2025) accused Pakistan of attacking ‘insaniyat’ and Kashmiriyat by targeting tourists in Pahalgam, saying the intent was to trigger communal clashes in India and rob Kashmiri people dependent on tourism of their livelihoods.
The Prime Minister was speaking after flagging off the first train service to the Kashmir Valley, and inaugurating several development projects, including the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab river and India’s first cable-stayed Anji bridge.
The Prime Minister inaugurated the two state-of-the-art bridges before flagging off the Vande Bharat train to mark the completion of the 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link (USBRL), providing direct train connectivity to the valley.
He also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple development projects worth over ₹46,000 crore for Katra, the base camp for pilgrims visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine atop Trikuta hills in Reasi district.
