For this, I expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister on behalf of my family. I told him that he was not alone in this fight against terrorism. My entire family and community stand with you. The PM expressed condolences to our family. He said that the fight against terrorism will continue, and we will destroy terrorism completely," he added.
