NEW DELHI – Prime Minister Narendra Modi is cutting short his two-day trip to Saudi Arabia in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, according to multiple reports.

Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Suhel Ajaz Khan.
Addressing a press conference in Jeddah, Khan said: “The recent terror attack in Kashmir was discussed, and his royal Highness, the Crown Prince, condemned the terror attack and offered any help to India in this regard. India and Saudi Arabia have cooperation in issues related to terrorism, and we continue to work together.”

“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice…they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakeable, and it will only grow stronger,” he added.
