Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a high-level meeting with Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh on Monday amid escalating tensions with Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack.
The attack, which took place on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir, claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists. In response, India has taken swift and severe actions, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, halting visa services for Pakistani nationals, and banning Pakistani aircraft and ships from entering Indian territory. Additionally, Pakistani citizens residing in India have been ordered to leave the country immediately.
Pakistan, visibly unsettled by India’s aggressive measures, has voiced concerns about a potential military strike from New Delhi. The situation remains tense as diplomatic discussions and global reactions influence India’s next steps.
As the world watches closely, PM Modi has reaffirmed his commitment to tracking down the perpetrators and ensuring justice. Analysts suggest that India’s firm stance against cross-border terrorism could have significant geopolitical ramifications in the coming days.
