Top Level Meeting on Security Begins at PM Modi’s Residence, Day After J&K Terror Attack
The meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) began on Wednesday in Delhi, a day after terrorists killed at least 26 tourists in J&K’s Pahalgam. The meeting was held at PM Narendra Modi’s residence, and it was attended by Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval. The high-level meeting comes as the nation is still reeling from the shock of the brutal terror attack that took place on Tuesday evening.
According to sources, the meeting is focusing on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. The incident, which saw a group of terrorists open fire on a bus carrying tourists, has raised concerns about the ability of the security forces to protect civilians in the region.
The meeting is also expected to discuss the steps that need to be taken to prevent such attacks in the future. This includes reviewing the security protocols in place, identifying vulnerabilities, and taking measures to plug those gaps.
Sources close to the meeting say that the CCS is also discussing the role of Pakistan-based militant groups in the attack. The Pahalgam attack is widely believed to have been carried out by the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist group, which is known for its links to Pakistan’s military intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The meeting also comes as the Indian government is under pressure to take action against Pakistan for its continued support to terrorist groups operating in the region. The Indian government has repeatedly accused Pakistan of providing safe haven to terrorist groups, including the JeM, and has called upon the international community to take action against Islamabad.
Home Minister Amit Shah, who returned from Jammu and Kashmir this evening, is said to have briefed the CCS on the ground situation in the region. Shah is believed to have met with the families of the victims of the Pahalgam attack and has assured them that the government is committed to bringing those responsible to justice.
The CCS meeting is a significant development in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, which has raised concerns about the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The region has seen a surge in violence in recent months, with the JeM and other terrorist groups carrying out a series of attacks on security forces and civilians.
The Pahalgam attack, which is one of the deadliest in recent years, has also raised concerns about the ability of the security forces to protect civilians in the region. The attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for the government to take action against Pakistan and to increase security measures in the region.
The CCS meeting is expected to provide a framework for the government’s response to the Pahalgam attack and to outline the steps that will be taken to prevent such attacks in the future. The meeting is also expected to discuss the role of the security forces in the region and to review their preparedness to deal with terrorist threats.
In the wake of the Pahalgam attack, the Indian government has launched a massive operation to track down and eliminate the terrorists responsible for the attack. The operation, which is being conducted by the security forces, is believed to have already led to the killing of several terrorists.
The Pahalgam attack has also led to a deterioration in relations between India and Pakistan. The Indian government has accused Pakistan of supporting the JeM and has called upon Islamabad to take action against the terrorist group. Pakistan, on the other hand, has denied any involvement in the attack and has accused India of fabricating evidence.
The CCS meeting comes as the Indian government is under pressure to take action against Pakistan for its continued support to terrorist groups operating in the region. The Indian government has repeatedly accused Pakistan of providing safe haven to terrorist groups, including the JeM, and has called upon the international community to take action against Islamabad.
The meeting is also expected to discuss the role of the international community in combating terrorism in the region. The Indian government has called upon the international community to take action against Pakistan and to support India’s efforts to combat terrorism.
As the CCS meeting continues, the nation is holding its breath, hoping that the government will take strong and decisive action to prevent such attacks in the future. The Pahalgam attack has once again highlighted the need for the government to take a tough stance against terrorism and to work closely with the international community to combat this menace.
