Pahalgam Terror Attack: The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination in South Kashmir, has shaken the entire country. There is a wave of anger across India after this cowardly attack on innocent tourists. From the public to the government, everyone is demanding revenge for this attack and to teach a tough lesson to the masters of terror. Since the attack, a series of strategic meetings have been going on in Delhi, and India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made its intentions clear.Complete freedom for retaliationOn Tuesday, Prime Minister Modi held a high-level meeting with the three army chiefs, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) Anil Chauhan and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. In this meeting, the Prime Minister made it clear that India will not compromise against terrorism and the armies have been given full freedom to retaliate. Seeing the seriousness of this meeting, an atmosphere of collective uneasiness and apprehension has been created in Pakistan.One big meeting after another against PakistanPM Modi will hold a full cabinet meeting today, i.e. on Wednesday, but before that he will chair three important cabinet committees—Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) and Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA). Through these meetings, pressure will be put on Pakistan not only on the military but also on the political and economic front.Earlier also, in the CCS meeting, India had taken many strong decisions against Pakistan—decisions like review of Indus Water Treaty, strictness on Attari border, and ban on Indian visas proved to be setbacks for Pakistan.India's voice at the international levelIndia is also raising this terrorist attack on international forums. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke to the temporary member countries of the United Nations Security Council and clarified India's stand. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also condemned the attack and spoke to the leaders of both the countries. India has made it clear that it is committed to bring the terrorists and their patrons to justice.Growing fear in PakistanIndia's aggressive stance has created panic in Pakistan. Pakistani intelligence agencies have claimed that India can take military action in the next 24 to 36 hours. Due to this apprehension, Pakistan has once again started threatening to be a nuclear country, but this time India seems to be completely firm in its intentions.Now prepare for the endThe Pahalgam attack has once again proved that half-hearted response against terrorism is no longer enough. India is now ready to give a well-planned and decisive response on all three fronts - diplomatic, economic and military. Prime Minister Modi's meetings one after another are an indication that now the time has come for concrete action, not just strong condemnation. The countrymen hope that this time the revenge for the terrorist attack will be such that Pakistan will remember it for a long time.
