Military Prepared for Any Action, Rajnath Informs Modi About Readiness
Delhi's Discussions Amid Escalating India-Pakistan Standoff Tensions between India and Pakistan continue to mount after the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack claimed the lives of 26 innocent tourists. To tackle this situation, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, briefing him on the state of affairs in Kashmir and the tense Line of Control with Pakistan. National security adviser Ajit Doval was also present during the lengthy meeting at the Prime Minister's residence. The state of preparedness of the three defense services was also addressed in the discussion. The defense minister boldly declared that the army was prepared to face any challenge that comes their way.
Meanwhile, a high-level multi-disciplinary panel was formed to investigate the reasons behind the disastrous AI flight crash. Members of the parliamentary standing committee on defense weighed in on the Pahalgam attack and the evolving Pakistan situation during their meeting on Monday. Notable attendees included committee chairman Radha Mohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition, and Sanjay Singh, AAP MP.
The United States urged both nations to work together towards a responsible resolution, acknowledging the deadly Pahalgam attack. However, they "stand with India" in these challenging times, strongly condemning the atrocious attack. Rumors swirl that American officials worry about a potential armed conflict or all-out war between two nuclear-weapon states.
China, meanwhile, supported its ever-loyal ally Pakistan. Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi advocated for an impartial investigation into the terrorist attacks on Indian soil, hoping for restraint from both India and Pakistan. With mounting international pressure, Islamabad proposed a "neutral and independent" probe into the carnage. Mr Wang emphasized that China understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports them in safeguarding their interests.
The Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy stand ready for action as tensions rise. The Indian and Pakistani armies have been trading gunfire at the Line of Control for four consecutive nights. Meanwhile, the Indian Navy successfully carried out anti-ship missile tests in the Arabian Sea to maintain their long-range precision offensive strike capabilities.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Army has been engaging in continuous strategy sessions with top military commanders. The defense minister held meetings with Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Anil Chauhan and Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi to discuss the situation in Kashmir.
India has already pledged severe punishment for those responsible for the Pahalgam attack that has outraged individuals not only within India but abroad due to its heinous nature.
