Describing the Pahalgam terror attack as “an attack on Kashmiriyat and Insaniyat (humanity)“, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (June 6, 2025) said that India’s response, Operation Sindoor, had served a humiliating defeat to Pakistan.

The Prime Minister made these remarks after inaugurating three major rail infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir: the Chenab bridge, the world’s highest railway arch bridge; the Anji bridge, India’s first cable-stayed rail bridge; and the Vande Bharat train service between Katra and Srinagar. This is the first time a passenger train will travel from the Jammu region into the Kashmir region, connecting the valley with the mainland of the country.
