Modi Slams Pakistan's 'Unholy' Terrorism Tactics Amid Kashmir Tensions

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Pakistan for using terrorism and proxy wars to stay relevant. He asserted that Pakistan's plans would fail, highlighting strained India-Pakistan relations over Kashmir and recent militant attacks. The remarks coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Kargil conflict.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused Pakistan of attempting to stay relevant through terrorism and proxy wars, vowing that its 'unholy plans' will never succeed. The nuclear-armed neighbors share a contentious history, with India frequently accusing Pakistan of supporting Islamist militants in Kashmir, claims Pakistan denies.

Modi's comments were made during an event marking the 25th anniversary of the Kargil conflict, underscoring the fragile peace between the two countries which have fought three wars, two over Kashmir. These remarks follow a series of militant attacks in Jammu, part of the contentious Jammu and Kashmir region, resulting in the deaths of nearly a dozen Indian soldiers this year.

Pakistan's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Relations have been strained since India abolished Kashmir's special status in 2019 and further deteriorated following a suicide bombing in Kashmir traced back to Pakistan-based militants. The animosity persists with both nations trading accusations, leaving diplomatic ties at a standstill.
