New Delhi:Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a crucial meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs or CCPA -- the most important committee of the cabinet that has also been dubbed the "Super Cabinet". The meet comes after a round of meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security - the next one is due on Wednesday -- following last week's shocking massacre of tourists in Kashmir's Pahalgam.
After the first round of the CCS meeting, the government had announced a series of non-military measures against Pakistan, including the freeze on the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting of the Attari border and cancellation of visas.
After another crucial meeting this evening with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, PM Modi gave the armed forces "complete freedom to decide on the mode, targets, and timing' of India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack," sources have said.
In this backdrop, tomorrow's CCPA meet has raised speculation.
The CCPA had met last after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama in 2019 to review the security situation and formulate counter-strategies. The meet had signed off on the withdrawal of the Most Favoured Nation status given to Pakistan. Later, on February 26, 2019, the Indian Air Force carried out the airstrike on terror camps in Balakot.
