As speculation mounts over India라이브 바카라 response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a high-level meeting with Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, reports showed.

The meeting, which lasted over 30 minutes, comes on the heels of a series of consultations with top military leaders, including a discussion with Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh just a day earlier.

The Prime Minister has now met with the heads of all three armed forces as the government works to finalise a firm response to the assault, which it believes has links to Pakistan.

The attack, carried out twelve days ago in the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, left 25 tourists and a local pony ride operator dead. Armed terrorists opened fire on the group in what has been described as a cold-blooded massacre, triggering nationwide outrage. Describing the incident as "shocking in its brutality," Prime Minister Modi vowed that those responsible—both perpetrators and masterminds—would face consequences “beyond imagination.”

In response, India has already begun taking a series of diplomatic and strategic steps aimed at pressuring Pakistan. These include suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, halting visa services for Pakistani nationals, and reducing the diplomatic staff at Pakistan라이브 바카라 missions in India. The measures are intended to send a clear and stern message to Islamabad, which New Delhi accuses of harboring or supporting the groups behind the attack.

Pakistan, in turn, has warned that any move to restrict the flow of river waters will be treated as an act of war. It has also threatened to withdraw from all bilateral agreements with India, including the Simla Agreement, which governs the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

As the situation continues to evolve, all eyes remain on how India will choose to escalate or contain the crisis in the coming days.

The past few days have seen multiple meetings by Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, top ministers and officials in the security establishment. Dropping a broad hint about India's next move, Defence Minister Singh yesterday assured the nation that "what you desire will certainly happen" under Prime Minister Modi's leadership.

"The physical security of India as a nation has always been ensured by our brave soldiers... As Defence Minister, it is my responsibility to work with my soldiers to ensure the security of the nation's borders, and it is my duty to give a fitting reply to those who threaten our country," he said.
