Centre to Convene All-Party Meeting on Pahalgam Terror Attack Tomorrow

New Delhi, April 23: In the wake of the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, the Centre has decided to convene an all-party meeting on Thursday to discuss the current security situation and formulate a united political response.

Sources within the government confirmed that the decision was made shortly after the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) held an urgent high-level meeting to evaluate the immediate and long-term implications of the attack.

Top officials revealed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh have already initiated direct communication with leaders from various political parties to ensure full participation in the meeting.

“An all-party meeting will be convened tomorrow regarding the situation related to the terror attack,” said a top government source.

This move is seen as a step towards building national consensus on counter-terrorism strategies and fostering political unity at a time of grave concern.

Background: What Happened in Pahalgam?

On April 22, heavily armed terrorists launched a deadly attack in the picturesque town of Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claiming the lives of multiple security personnel and injuring several others. The attack, which is believed to have been orchestrated by militants with backing from across the border, has sparked widespread condemnation from all quarters.

In response, India announced a series of tough measures against Pakistan, further escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

The meeting is expected to:

• Review the current internal security situation.
• Discuss intelligence failures and the need for enhanced counter-terror operations.
• Evaluate diplomatic and military responses to Pakistan’s role in cross-border terrorism.
• Build a unified strategy to prevent such attacks in the future.

Leaders from across the political spectrum are expected to participate, underscoring the importance of national unity in the face of terrorism.
