Indian PM Narendra Modi Calls All-Party Meeting

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has convened an all-party meeting to discuss the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The attack, carried out by a Pakistani terrorist organization on Tuesday night, claimed the lives of 28 people, including Nepali tourist Sudeep Nyaupane, and left several others injured.

Cutting short his visit to Saudi Arabia, PM Modi returned to India following the attack. The Indian government has taken stringent measures, ordering Pakistani citizens to leave India within 48 hours and recalling its diplomats from Pakistan.

India has also decided to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, a landmark agreement signed in 1960 that has remained intact even during past conflicts between the two nations. Additionally, the visa-free facility for Pakistani citizens under SAARC arrangements has been revoked, and the Attari Integrated Check Post on the Punjab border has been closed.

In response, Pakistan has called a National Security Committee meeting, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemning India’s allegations as “irresponsible.” According to Radio Pakistan, the meeting aims to analyze the situation and formulate a response to India’s actions.

The Pahalgam attack has raised serious concerns about regional stability in South Asia, further straining India-Pakistan relations and posing challenges to peace and cooperation in the region.
