Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said those responsible will pay "a very heavy price" and security forces will be given a free hand to deal with terrorists.
In a hitting speech Modi said that the "blood of the people is boiling" and forces behind the act of terrorism will be definitely be punished.
Security forces have been given complete freedom, the blood of the people is boiling...Our neighbouring country, which has been isolated internationally, thinks such terror attacks can destabilise us, but their plans will not materialise," Modi said at a function to flag off the Vande Bharat Express, India's fastest train from Delhi to Varanasi.
As an appeal to his critics Modi asked to not politicise the tragedy, Modi said that the attacks have left the country emotional.
"I understand the sentiments of those criticising us but I urge them that it is an emotional time, so stay away from political one-upmanship," he added.
