PM Modi chairs a high-level meeting of senior officials at his residence.

The honourable PM of India on Sunday at his New Delhi residence called for a high-level meeting of senior officials, a day after Pakistan reneged on the ceasefire agreement. The meeting had Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, in attendance.

PM Modi has told to retaliate to Pakistan’s aggression strongly.

On Saturday, hours after India announced that it had agreed to a ceasefire and halting military action on “land and in the air and sea” with effect from 5 pm, Pakistan carried out a spate of attacks along the border. Blackouts were imposed in large parts of Punjab, Jammu, Kashmir, and some parts of Rajasthan. On Sunday, India reiterated that there wouldn’t be any let-up in vigil and the response to any aggression from Pakistan would be met with a befitting response. People familiar with the matter in the government said PM Modi is learnt to have told the service chiefs to strongly retaliate to Pakistan’s aggression and respond with proportionate force.

A party functionary aware of the details said, “The meeting was called to draw up a communication strategy for the party and to take stock of the situation on the ground. Earlier, before the ceasefire was announced, the party had planned to take out Tiranga Yatras across the country and organise special prayers in temples, gurudwaras and other places of worship.”
