New Delhi: A Pivotal Meeting Amidst Unrest
Pahalgam Terror Incident: Prime Minister Modi Conferred with RSS Chief Bhagwat Over Meeting
In the wake of the devastating Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 civilians, primarily tourists, dead, a crucial meeting took place between RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Home Minister Amit Shah at the PM's residence on Tuesday.
The meeting, which also included top defense officials, mirrors the Indian government's serious approach towards addressing the growing threat of terrorism. As the ideological backbone of the ruling BJP, the RSS's input is crucial in shaping the political and ideological landscape of India[1][2][3].
Following the horrific attack, the RSS swiftly condemned it as an assault on the nation's unity and integrity, calling for severe repercussions for the culprits[1][2][4]. In line with their stance, the meeting suggests the government is considering strong countermeasures in response to the attack and is seeking feedback from key players like the RSS[3][4].
The meeting came after a critical security meeting chaired by PM Modi, which included Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, and all three chiefs of the armed forces. The joint session underscores the government's resolve to respond effectively to such incidents and maintain national security[3][4].
The RSS's call for all political parties to put aside their differences and unite against terrorism reflects the need for solidarity in the face of adversity[1][2][3]. As such, the meeting further reinforces this appeal for unity and underscores the importance of coordination between the government and influential socio-political organizations like the RSS in addressing critical national issues.
