"All retaliatory actions are justified": MoS Defence Sanjay Seth after Pahalgam terror attack

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], April 26 (ANI): Minister of State (MoS) for Defence, Sanjay Seth, on Saturday, termed all the "retaliatory actions" taken by the government in response to the Pahalgam terror attack justified.
Speaking to ANI, Seth asserted that the terrorists will not be spared.
"All the retaliatory actions are justified and we want as much action to be taken, as is possible. Revenge will be taken for every tear that the families of victims have shed. Terrorists will not be spared. The world stands with India and PM Narendra Modi. The world stands against terrorism," he said.
Terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen while leaving several others injured.

Meanwhile, in a significant development amid heightened security concerns following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, intelligence agencies have compiled a list of 14 local terrorists actively operating in the Union Territory.
According to sources, these individuals, aged between 20 to 40 years, are actively aiding terrorists from Pakistan by providing logistical and ground-level support.
The identified operatives are reportedly affiliated with three major Pakistan-backed terror outfits: Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Among them, three are associated with Hizbul Mujahideen, eight with LeT, and three with JeM.
Sources revealed the names of these individuals: Adil Rehman Dentoo (21), Asif Ahmed Sheikh (28), Ahsan Ahmed Sheikh (23), Haris Nazir (20), Aamir Nazir Wani (20), Yawar Ahmed Bhat, Asif Ahmed Khanday (24), Naseer Ahmed Wani (21), Shahid Ahmed Kutay (27), Aamir Ahmed Dar, Adnan Safi Dar, Zubair Ahmed Wani (39), Haroon Rashid Ganai (32), and Zakir Ahmed Ganie (29).
The identification of these local terror aides comes as agencies intensify efforts to dismantle the support networks facilitating cross-border terrorism. The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 tourists were gunned down by terrorists, including three belongs to Pakistan, has reignited concerns over the growing nexus between foreign terrorists and local recruits.
Security forces have also launched coordinated operations across South Kashmir, particularly in Anantnag and Pulwama districts, where many of the listed individuals are believed to be operating. Senior officials indicate that these names are part of a larger intelligence dossier being used to pre-empt further attacks and disrupt terror logistics in Kashmir valley. (ANI)
