The meeting comes in the wake of escalating regional tensions following missile strikes launched early Wednesday by Indian forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK, in an operation dubbed ‘Operation Sindoor’, carried out in response to the 22 April terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
The strike was carried out two weeks after the terror attack, where 26 people — including 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen — were killed in Baisaran Valley.
Meanwhile, at the meeting, political parties will be briefed on several aspects of ‘Operation Sindoor’, including the objectives of the operation, the specific terror targets hit, the strategic and security impact, and India’s preparedness in the event of any retaliatory actions from Pakistan.
Commenting on the operation, the central government stated that the armed forces had carried out a “measured, non-escalatory, proportionate, and responsible” strike aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, to “deter and pre-empt” any further attacks following the Pahalgam incident.
