The pain of the innocent tourists killed in this attack has shaken the soul of the entire country. In this background, the speech given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Bihar tour has become not just a political reaction, but the declaration of India's most decisive and tough stand against terrorism so far.Prime Minister Modi, while putting forth his point without any mincing words, said bluntly that "this attack is on the soul of India, and now the time has come to completely destroy the roots of terrorism."

This shows that taking both security and development together is the strategy of this government.
