In a warning to Pakistan and terror groups behind Pulwama terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said they have committed a “grave mistake” and they will pay a "very heavy price" for the ghastly attack. 

Speaking at the flagging off ceremony of Vande Bharat Express in Delhi, Modi said security forces will be given complete freedom to crack down on terrorism, and the "blood of the people is boiling".

On Thursday, an explosives laden truck rammed into a CRPF convoy in Pulwama outside Srinagar killing at least 37 soldiers in one of the biggest terror attacks in recent years.

"Our neighbouring country thinks such terror attacks can weaken us, but their plans will not materialise," he said at a function to flag off a new semi-high speed train from Delhi to Varanasi.

"I want to tell terrorist organisations and their guardians that they have done a grave mistake. Those behind the attack will be punished for their actions,” Modi said here while flagging off the Delhi-Varanasi high-speed Vande Bharat Express train.

"My condolences to families of those martyred in the Pulwama attack, those behind the terror strike will pay a very heavy price," Modi said.

Modi also thanked the countries which have supported India and condemned this incident in the strongest of terms. “A strong reply will be given to this attack,” he said.

Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the attack. 

Earlier, the Prime Minister chaired a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security which decided to withdraw 'most favoured nation' (MFN) status accorded to Pakistan.

India will take all possible diplomatic steps to ensure the "complete isolation" of Pakistan, Finance Miniser Arun Jaitley told reporters soon after meeting at PM Modi's residence. 

"The Ministry of External Affairs will initiate all possible steps, and I am here referring to all possible diplomatic steps which have to be taken to ensure the complete isolation from the international community of Pakistan," he said.
