NEW DELHI: People involved in the dastardly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam will get a strong response in the “near future” and India cannot be “intimidated” by any such terrorist activities, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday.

His remarks in an address at an event came a day after 26 people were killed by terrorists in Pahalgam in an attack that triggered wide-spread outrage within India and abroad.

“From this platform, I assure the countrymen that in view of the incident, the government of India will take every step that is necessary and appropriate,” Singh said.
