In a solemn and emotionally charged visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with the grieving family of Shubha Dwivedi, a victim of the recent terror ambush in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. During the closed-door meeting at the family’s residence in Kanpur, the Prime Minister offered personal condolences and assured them of the nation’s solidarity and unwavering commitment to justice.
Shubha Dwivedi, whose life was cut short in a brutal militant attack that shocked the country, hailed from a middle-class household in Kanpur. Her family, devastated by the loss, was consoled by Modi who spent time listening to their memories and sharing words of strength. According to eyewitnesses, the Prime Minister’s demeanor was somber yet resolute.
“This fight is long. It will continue,” PM Modi told the family, invoking a stern message against terrorism. His remarks underscore India’s ongoing struggle with cross-border terrorism and the government’s firm stance on national security.
Modi’s visit came amid a series of outreach efforts to families of terror victims, an attempt seen by observers as both humanitarian and symbolic—a signal that the nation stands united in the face of violence.
Security in the area was tight, and political aides confirmed that the visit was not intended for publicity but was part of the Prime Minister’s personal outreach. “He came not as the head of the government but as a fellow citizen mourning a national loss,” a senior official said.
As India continues to reel from sporadic acts of terrorism in conflict-prone regions, the Prime Minister’s presence in Kanpur serves as both a gesture of compassion and a political reaffirmation of the nation’s counterterrorism doctrine.
The Dwivedi family, while heartbroken, expressed gratitude for the Prime Minister’s visit. “It gave us courage. He remembered our daughter not just as a victim, but as a citizen whose life mattered,” a family member said.
The Pahalgam attack, which occurred earlier this month, has reignited calls for stricter counterterrorism measures and better protection for civilians in sensitive zones. As the country mourns, Modi’s words echo a broader national sentiment—of grief, resilience, and the enduring will to stand against violence.
