Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday chaired a crucial high-level security meeting ahead of the scheduled talks between the directors general of military operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan. The high-level meeting included dignitaries including defence minister Rajnath Singh and external affairs minister S Jaishankar, CDS General Anil Chauhan and all three service chiefs.
PM Modi has been holding regular meetings with top government officials overseeing India’s military and diplomatic response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
The gathering followed Saturday’s announcement by India and Pakistan to immediately halt all military actions across land, air, and sea. The ceasefire came after a series of intense cross-border hostilities.
However, just hours after proposing a ceasefire, the Pakistan army breached and violated it. The DGMO Lt General Rajiv Ghai, in a press briefing on Sunday, issued a strong warning to Pakistan, saying, “any threat to the sovereignty, safety of our citizens will be met with decisive force.”
The two nations have been at odds after the killing of 26 tourists and civilians in Pahalgam on 22 April. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May, when the Air Force conducted coordinated airstrikes on nine terror camps across Pakistan and the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) region, reportedly eliminating over 100 militants.
Pakistan then retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting India’s western front, but the attempts were successfully intercepted and foiled by the armed forces. In response to the aggression, the IAF launched a 90-minute air operation that destroyed 11 strategic airbases in Pakistan.
For now, all eyes remain on the India and Pakistan DGMO talks which are scheduled for later in the day, as per sources cited by ANI.
