A day after the terror attack in Uri that killed 17 soldiers, the Centre decided to diplomatically isolate Pakistan at ever international forum or group.
The meeting chaired by the PM Narendra Modi gives nod to diplomatically isolate Pakistan at every international grouping on Monday. India will present all actionable evidence, if required, at international bodies proving Pakistan’s involvement in Uri attack. Sources said, “PM Modi met union ministers Rajnath Singh, Manohar Parrikar and Arun Jaitley and decided to diplomatically isolate Pakistan at every international forum.
“GPS tracker movements that go back to starting point in Pakistan, Pashto literature, Pakistan Army-marked arms” to be given to Pakistan at DGMO level,” said sources.
Addressing the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), India’s ambassador alleged that Pakistan’s military establishment is committing human rights violations across the country, including Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
“It will be best if the government of Pakistan focuses its energies on improving the human rights situation within the country and PoK,” said Ajit Kumar India’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN, in a statement at the 33rd Session of the UNHRC at Geneva.
Top sources said the government is clear that there must be a calibrated, multi-layered and strategic response from India to the attack. India, the sources said, could raise the Uri attack at the United Nations General Assembly, which is in session in New York.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh also called a high-level meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and top officials from the ministries of Home and Defence, the Army, the paramilitary forces and the chiefs of intelligence agencies briefed Singh on the latest in the Kashmir Valley as well as along the Line of Control, official sources said.
Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, who postponed his visit to Srinagar, attended this meeting.
Asserting that time has come when India responds in equal measure to Pakistan following the deadly terror strike in Uri, Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Union Minister of External Affairs Yashwant Sinha calls for a military response, adding that the nation’s three forces must formulate an action place and present it to the Centre.
Even though Pakistan denying its hands in Uri attacks, the international community came out strongly in support of India.
“We call on States to fight against terror groups operating on their territory or from their territory against others. France remains at India’s side in the combat against terrorism,” France’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Monday.
