Indian PM Narendra Modi on Sunday acknowledged the nation-wide anger after the Uri terror attack that killed 18 soldiers and vowed that the perpetrators of the "cowardly" act would not be spared.
Modi, however, refrained from naming Pakistan in his monthly radio broadcast "Mann ki Baat" even as the government has said the four attackers who struck at the army base in Jammu and Kashmir had come from across the Line of Control (LoC) - the de facto border that divides the state between the two countries.
"Recently, we lost 18 bravehearts in a terror attack in Uri. I salute and pay my tributes to these martyrs," the Prime Minister said, opening the address that was aired on the state-run All India Radio.
"This cowardly act was enough to shake the nation. There is sorrow and deep resentment in the country," Modi said.

It is a loss for the entire nation. And that is why I reiterate today what I had said on the day of the attack: The culprits will be punished for sure," he said.
