Defence minister Rajnath Singh will on Thursday chair an all-party meeting in the evening to brief leaders on the dastardly terror attack which took place in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam on Tuesday. Twenty six people were killed and several others were injured in the attack carried out by The Resistance Front terror group.
The decision to call an all-party meeting was taken on Wednesday. Union home minister Amit Shah is also expected to be present at the briefing.
According to people aware of the development, NDA ally Janata Dal (United) will not be present during the meeting which will be held at 6 pm but the party has announced it will support whatever decision the government takes.
JD(U) working president Sanjay Jha said party leaders will be in Madhubani in Bihar for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled programmes on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Divas.
“Whatever decision will be taken in the meeting, JD(U) will stand with the government and support the Centre in the country’s interest,” Jha told ANI in Bihar .
India on Wednesday further downgraded already-strained diplomatic ties with Pakistan, and announced a slew of countermeasures, including suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, 1960, shutting down of the Attari-Wagah border and expulsion of Pakistani military attaches.
