Pune, April 26: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said the process of expelling Pakistani citizens from India in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack has begun and legal action will be taken against such individuals overstaying in the western state. He condemned the killing of innocent tourists and said the Modi government will give a befitting reply. The chief minister met the families of two friends from Pune- Kaustubh Ganbote and Santosh Jagdale- who were killed in the April 22 terror attack.

"I met the family members of those killed in the terror attack. The description of the incident narrated by Asawari Jagdale (daughter of one of the victims) is disturbing. I don't want to say anything to those speaking out of turn on the (Pahalgam) incident. "Our resolution to fight against terrorism has become even stronger. Help will be provided to the six families from Maharashtra," he told reporters on the sidelines of an event. Twenty-six persons, mostly tourists, were killed by terrorists at a popular meadow in Kashmir's Anantnag district.
