The meeting took place a few days after Prime Minister Modi presided over a meeting, with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Defense Minister Anil Chauhan and three service chiefs attending.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval also attended the meeting.
The Cabinet Security Committee (CCS) meeting was held the day after the terrorist attack on Pahargam tourists, with 26 people killed.
The government affirmed India's determination to fight terrorism. It said the terrorists responsible for the attack and the conspirators behind them would face severe punishment.
The government provides the armed forces with freedom of action that completely determines the mode of India’s response, goals and timing.
After the Pahargam terrorist attack, the government convened a whole party meeting. The opposition party expressed full support for any government actions against those who suffered terrorist attacks. In a briefing to CCS, cross-border links for terrorist attacks were proposed. It is worth noting that the attack was due to its stable progress in economic growth and development following the successful elections of Jamu and Kashmir.
The government announced a series of measures, including temporarily shelving the Indian Water Treaty to send a strong message to Pakistan in support of its support for cross-border terrorism.
