New Delhi: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh for a sensitive discussion about escalating tensions with Pakistan during their session at his Delhi residence on Sunday. The 40-minute dialogue between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh forms part of ongoing high-level talks with defence leaders during heightened speculation about Indian military actions against Pakistan after its terrorist attack that resulted in 26 fatalities from tourists at Baisaran Valley in Jammu and Kashmir.
The discussions with Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi both took place on successive days before Prime Minister Modi held the strategic meeting. Sources suggested that military leaders met to evaluate the Indian Air Force deployment readiness to conduct potential counterattacks against Pakistan when Indian officials blame Pakistan for The Resistance Front (TRF) terrorist activities.
Prime Minister Modi, in a meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chiefs of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, and the three service commanders, gave the military forces complete freedom to choose their responses, including timing, targets, and operational approaches, following the brutal Pahalgam killings. India solidified its position against terrorism when Prime Minister Modi pledged to track down perpetrators anywhere on Earth.
The nation has implemented multiple diplomatic measures which started with suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and then elevating border closures along Wagah-Attari as well as excluding Pakistani airlines from operating in its airspace. Pakistan expects military intervention from India and thus enhanced its border security while threatening “catastrophic consequences” against any action it takes. The contact border forces have broken the ceasefire requirements at the Line of Control for ten straight nights, resulting in increased instability of the area.
The Air Chief Marshal met Sunday with India to review the planned future actions based on precise military scheduling. India’s Air Force response was instrumental in the Balakot airstrike of 2019, so the military branch prepares itself for possible actions in the imminent future. The country mourns Pahalgam victims while the government consults with military officials to build a strategic and powerful response against the border-based challenge.
