Uri vs Pulwama: How govt reacted to the two terror attacks

 Terror attack in Pulwama has refreshed memories of another terror attack that took place more than two years ago -- the 2016 Uri attack.

While on both occasions the government agreed that Pakistan should be isolated internationally for its continued support to terror groups, it was severely criticised for continuing trade with the neighbouring country in the wake of the Uri attack.
ere is how key members of the Modi government have responded to the two attacks:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Uri attack: Terrorists should hear out clearly that India will never forget the Uri attack... I want to tell the leadership of Pakistan that the sacrifice of our 18 jawans will not go in vain."

Pulwama attack: "I want to tell terror groups and their supporters that they have made a big mistake. I want to assure the nation that those behind this attack will pay a big price."

"If our neighbour who is totally isolated in the world thinks it can destabilise India through its tactics and conspiracies, then it is making a big mistake."

Arun Jaitley

Uri attack: "The perpetrators of the Uri terror attack will face consequences. Diplomatic efforts to isolate Pakistan internationally will be intensified."

Pulwama attack: "The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) will initiate all possible diplomatic steps that have to be taken to ensure complete isolation of Pakistan, of which incontrovertible evidence is available, for having a direct hand in this gruesome incident."

Rajnath Singh

Uri attack: "Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such. There are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped."

Pulwama attack: "Jaish-e-Mohammed has carried out this terror attack. We assure the country that we will undertake whatever it takes to avenge this."

Manohar Parrikar

Uri attack: "As a nation should ensure this is not repeated again and again. I will take steps to ensure it doesn't go wrong again. PM's statement that 'those behind Uri attack will not go unpunished', will not remain a mere statement."
[b]Pulwama attack: "The attack on CRPF jawans at Pulwama is an act of extreme cowardice and disregard for human life. India’s resolve for peace mustn’t be counted for weakness & passivity. India stands with CRPF, its martyred jawans and their families."[/b]
