On Tuesday evening, there was a fierce extremist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 people lost their lives. After this incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on a tour of Saudi Arabia at that time, left his visit in the middle and returned home.
🛬 PM Modi’s grand reception in Saudi Arabia
Prime Minister Modi received royal reception at Jeddah Airport. He was given 21 cannon salutes and f-15 fighter jets flew in his honor. But as soon as the news of the attack came, he decided to return instead of joining Saudi’s official dinner.
🇸🇦 India-Saudi’s friendship was strong
PM Modi’s Al Salam Royal Palace met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and also signed four important agreements-especially with Space, Health and India-Midal East-Europe Corridor.
Modi and bin Salman’s strong reaction to the attack
The two countries strongly condemned the attack in a joint statement and clearly stated that there is no religion of terrorism. Saudi Arabia has assured India of all kinds of help.
🔍 Question on the time and purpose of attack
Experts believe that the time of this attack was very thoughtful. When American Vice President JD Vance was present in India and PM Modi was in Saudi Arabia, then an attempt was made to attract international attention.
🧠 Opinions of experts divided
Professor Aftab Pasha believes that Modi should stop there and take Pakistan in question.
At the same time, according to Dr. Mudassir Qamar, the decision of the PM’s return was absolutely correct and sensitive.
🌍 Earlier also during the US tour, there were attacks
In 2000, 36 Sikhs were killed in Chhattisgarhpora before Bill Clinton’s visit to India.
