Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to lead a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers on Wednesday, marking the first gathering following India’s military response to Pakistan through Operation Sindoor, initiated in reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack.
According to sources, the ministers are expected to receive information regarding the operation, which is also anticipated to be included in the ruling BJP’s initiatives commencing next week to commemorate the first anniversary of the Modi administration in its third term.
In addition to discussing Operation Sindoor, the prime minister may provide a comprehensive overview of his governance priorities during the council meeting, as the ministers get ready to engage with citizens nationwide during the anniversary celebrations.
India’s targeted operations against nine terrorist locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, followed by retaliatory actions on the military installations of the neighboring nation, particularly its air bases, have been a focal point in Modi’s recent addresses.
He has stated that Operation Sindoor signifies India’s ‘new normal’ in responding to terrorist activities associated with Pakistan and has pledged to pursue terrorists and their backers with equal intensity should any future terror incidents occur on Indian territory.
The Council of Ministers, which typically convenes every few months without a set schedule, unlike the Union Cabinet, discusses significant government policies in detail with the presence of senior bureaucrats.
On April 22, terrorists killed 26 civilians in a popular tourist area in Kashmir, sparking nationwide outrage and demands for justice.
Previously, the Prime Minister expressed that India and Paraguay are united in the battle against terrorism and highlighted the vast potential for collaborative efforts to tackle common issues such as cybercrime and drug trafficking.
Modi made these comments during delegation-level discussions with Paraguayan President Santiago Pena Palacios, where the Pahalgam terror attack was a topic of conversation.
Pena arrived in Delhi this morning for a three-day visit to India aimed at exploring avenues for enhancing overall cooperation.
This marks his inaugural visit to India and is only the second time a president from the South American nation has made such a trip.
Paraguay serves as a significant trading ally for India within the Latin American region, with numerous Indian enterprises in the automotive and pharmaceutical industries operating in Paraguay.
