All-Party meet begins to decide India’s response to Pulwama attack

SRINAGAR, (PTK): All party meet to be chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba briefs Home Minister ahead of the meeting called by the central government. The agenda of the meeting, it is understood, is to seek a unanimous view of India’s future course of action.

Given the militant attacks in Pathankot, Uri and Nagrota, this will be the first time that the ruling party will try and build a consensus on the actions India should take in days to come.

The announcement on the all-party meeting was made after the Cabinet Committee on Security meeting held on Friday, after which India withdrew the Most Favoured Nation status given to Pakistan to further restrict trade between the two neighbours. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also warned Pakistan that it will have to pay a heavy price for the attack and said that forces have been given the full freedom to retaliate. (PTK)
