Following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav held a high-level meeting on Saturday to review the law and order situation in the state.
In a post on the social media platform X, Yadav highlighted the necessity of rigorously implementing directives from the Union Home Ministry during discussions at the Police Headquarters in Bhopal.
The Chief Minister has ordered that all identified Pakistani nationals, except those with long-term, diplomatic, or official visas, must leave Madhya Pradesh within the specified timeframe.
Students from Jammu and Kashmir studying in the state will receive special protection to ensure their safety, he added.
Yadav also directed senior police officials to increase vigilance at sensitive areas to maintain peace and order throughout the region.

In response to the appalling terrorist attack in the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025—which resulted in the deaths of 26 innocent tourists, including two foreign nationals, and injuries to 20 others—the Central government has instructed all state governments to identify and expel Pakistani citizens by the given deadline.
This action reflects a firm stance against Pakistan amid rising demands for decisive measures from various sectors.
