New Delhi, April 29 (NationPress) In an effort to solidify India's forthcoming actions against Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to preside over a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Wednesday. This will be the second gathering in less than a week following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
With a national uproar following the deaths of 26 individuals at the hands of "Pakistan-backed" terrorists, along with Islamabad’s breach of the ceasefire along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir, the CCS is anticipated to evaluate potential military responses available to India for retaliation.
This meeting comes at a moment when Pakistan has denied any involvement in the Pahalgam attack and has cautioned against India's actions, which have included the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Previously, on April 23, PM Modi led a CCS meeting to assess the implications of the tragic Pahalgam incident.
During that discussion, the government resolved to implement a range of diplomatic strategies to hold Pakistan accountable for its role in cross-border terrorism.
The CCS acknowledged that the attack occurred in the context of successful elections in Jammu and Kashmir and the region's ongoing efforts toward economic development and stability.
Recognizing the gravity of the April 22 attack and its cross-border connections, the CCS initiated actions such as the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty; closure of the Attari Integrated Check Post in Punjab; cancellation of the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme for Pakistani nationals; declaring Pakistani diplomats as persona non grata; and a reduction in diplomatic personnel.
The CCS also reviewed the security landscape and instructed all Indian forces to uphold the highest level of vigilance.
India is determined to ensure that those responsible for the Pahalgam attack face justice, and that their sponsors are held accountable.
India's diplomatic moves indicate a commitment to the complete isolation of Pakistan until it halts its support for terrorism. These actions reflect the government's determination to counter Pakistan's ongoing role in instigating violence on Indian territory, sending a strong message to the international community that terrorism will not be tolerated.
