Speaking from Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation with a “heavy heart” a day after a devastating explosion near Delhi’s historic Red Fort. The blast, which killed at least eight people and injured dozens, has triggered a high-alert security response across the national capital and a firm political promise for retribution.
What Did PM Modi Say?

More importantly, he issued a stern warning to the perpetrators. “Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy,” PM Modi stated.
