NEW DELHI: The government decided on Saturday that India will treat any future act of terror on its soil as an “act of war” and respond accordingly, top official sources said, in a clear warning to Pakistan amid an intensifying conflict with the country following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. With this decision, the government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought to draw a red line against terror incidents and makes clear that it will follow a similar military response as it has after the Pahalgam incident if terrorists linked to Pakistan target India again. The Modi government, since coming to power in 2014, has drastically amped up its response to terror incidents linked to Pakistan, with the armed forces, in their most expansive strike against terrorist organisations, targeting nine terror sites in the neighbouring country and Pak-occupied Kashmir on May 7 under Operation Sindoor.
