'Terrorists will face consequences': Prez Murmu addresses nation on I Day eve President Droupadi Murmu's address to the nation on the eve of India's 80th Independence Day was a nostalgic tribute to the country's rich heritage and the ideals of the freedom struggle.
However, beneath the surface level of rhetoric lies a more troubling reality: the Indian government's continued failure to tackle the root causes of terrorism and its consequences.
Murmu's statement that "terrorists and those supporting them will have to face consequences no matter where they hide" is an all too familiar refrain in Indian politics.
