New Delhi [India], April 24 (ANI): LJP-Ram Vilas MP Arun Bharti endorsed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stance on Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks, stating that it reflects national sentiment and demands a strong response to protect India's unity and integrity.

'The message given by the Prime Minister, on the cowardice act of Pakistan-organised terror attacks, is the sentiment of the entire country. Everyone wants a befitting reply to be given back, and a message goes on to the entire world that whoever tries to raise their eyes towards the unity and integrity of the country will be uprooted... This act has been done to hamper peace in Kashmir and to challenge the country. This statement by the prime minister came at the right time, and our party and party leader Chirag Paswan stood with him firmly,' he said.

He said, 'On April 22, terrorists killed innocent people of the country in J-K's Pahalgam... The country is in mourning and in pain following this incident. We stand with the families of the victims. Today, from the soil of Bihar, India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, their handlers and their backers. We will pursue them to the end of the earth. India's spirit will never be broken by Terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished. Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done. The entire nation is firm in this resolve. Everyone who believes in humanity is on our side. I thank the people of various countries and their leaders, who have stood with us in these times.'

'I want to say in very clear words that these terrorists and those who conspired towards this attack will get a punishment bigger than they can imagine. The willpower of 140 crore Indians will now break the back of the masters of terror,' he added.
