Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday got emotional during an interaction with students in Lucknow when he was asked about the government's plans to curb rising terrorism in the country.
“This is like a chain of events. There is an attack. We investigate and then, things are back to the same. What is your government doing to solve this issue?” a student at the “Yuva Ke Mann Ki Baat” programme in Lucknow asked the UP CM.
To this, Adityanath said, "Terrorism is now inching towards its end. In order to put an end to it completely, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is totally committed".
Watch:
Talking about the Pulwama terror attack of February 14, he said that the security forces acted swiftly thereafter and killed the mastermind within 48 hours.
The Chief Minister then reached for his handkerchief to wipe his teary eyes.
As many as 40 CRPF personnel were killed in the Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir last week. The responsibility of the suicide bomb attack was claimed by the Pakistan-based terror outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
