India Reacts to Pahalgam Terror Attack: PM Modi Holds Key Meetings, Security Tightened

India Responds to Devastating Pahalgam Attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking decisive action following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 innocent people lost their lives on April 22nd. He met with top officials, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, the heads of the armed forces, and key Union ministers, to strategize India’s response.

In this high-stakes meeting, PM Modi empowered the armed forces to independently choose their targets, decide the best methods for counter-terrorism operations, and set the timing for any action. This shows the government’s commitment to taking strong measures against terror groups suspected of being backed by Pakistan, which has been linked to the Pahalgam attack.

Today, PM Modi is leading a series of important meetings to address this crisis. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) are all convening. These meetings, along with a session with the Union Cabinet, will be crucial in shaping India’s future policy towards Pakistan and in strengthening security measures within the country.

This is the second CCS meeting held since the Pahalgam attack. The first meeting on April 23rd resulted in several strong decisions against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing the Attari border, revoking visas for Pakistani citizens, and demanding the immediate return of Pakistani nationals currently in India.

A Nation Gripped by Grief

The Pahalgam attack has deeply shaken India. The loss of innocent lives has sparked widespread anger and grief. The nation is united in its condemnation of terrorism and its unwavering support for the government’s actions to ensure justice and security.
