New Delhi, Jun 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers on Wednesday, the first after the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor.
The meeting also assumes significance as the Modi 3.0 government would complete one year in office this month.
The meeting is the first after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians, mostly tourists dead, and the subsequent strikes carried out by the armed forces deep inside Pakistan to avenge the killings of innocent civilians.
The ministers are likely to be given details of the “Operation Sindoor”, which is also expected to figure in the ruling BJP’s programmes starting next week to mark the first anniversary of the PM Modi led government in its third term.
“Besides speaking on Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister may give an overall highlight of his governance thrust in the council meeting as the ministers prepare to communicate with people across the country during the anniversary events,” said a source.
On May 7, strikes on nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir followed by its counterattack on the neighbouring country’s military facilities, especially air bases, have sent a clear message to the neighbouring country that “terror won’t be tolerated” anymore.
PM Modi in his recent speeches has affirmed that “Operation Sindoor” has marked India’s “new normal” in punishing terror acts linked to Pakistan and vowed to go after terrorists and their sponsors with equal ferocity in case of any future terror incidents on the Indian soil.
The Council of Ministers, which generally meets in a few months, had met regularly after the Pahalgam terror attack. (KNO)
