Live Uri response: All about India's surgical strike on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
India changed its stand on the rules of engagement post Uri attack by carrying out a surgical strike on terror launchpads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, inflicting heavy casualties on terrorists and 'those protecting them'.
A senior state minister said it was a wait-and-watch situation while contingency plans about evacuation of the border area residents were already in place.
"India has got all legal, internationally accepted right to make a response to any attack on her sovereignty and her soil," Iqbal Chowdhury, Advisor to Sheikh Hasina said.
Modi had mocked his predecessor Manmohan Singh for letting Pakistani transgressions go unanswered, and had said if he came to power, he would "teach Pakistan a lesson" that it would not forget.
All people living within 7 to 8 kms of the border have been asked to move to safer areas and schools in 10 kms area to be closed down till further notice.
Nearly 10 days after the Uri attack, India carried out surgical strikes in PoK indicating a change of stand on the rules of engagement on the disputed line of control.
Saluting the valor of the Indian army for giving befitting reply to those attacking innocent Indians and ensuring zero tolerance on terror, Shah tweeted.
Defence experts assert that the operation was carried out despite Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail, and can hit Pakistan at will for something which it knows is wrong.
Almost 20 infiltration attempts have been foiled by the Indian army successfully during this year. During these terrorist attacks and infiltration attempts, the army recovered items with Pakistani markings.
He said the state sponsored terrorism emanating from Pakistani soil has become a threat not only to India but for the entire region as well as the world.
Former top guns of the military lauded the bravery and calibrated approach of the Indian security forces as also the government for allowing the military to carry out the task.
"Search operations have been started in Mendhar sector following the ceasefire violation by the Pakistan Army," a police official having information said.
"India is capable of repelling all forces that subvert peace in the region. We are proud of #IndianArmy & leadership of @narendamodiji," Jaitley tweeted.
Officials from the Interior and Defense ministries will brief the PM over national security, an official statement from the Prime Minister's House stated.
With this, the ruling party can claim that Modi is a Prime Minister with a spine as tough as that of Indira Gandhi's who changed the face of South Asia in 1971.
We hope that Indian and Pakistan can enhance communication and properly deal with difference and work jointly to maintain peace and security of the region, said China.
“I would not look at a sustained negative sentiment arising out of geopolitical tensions. Just look back at history, look back to 2008 or 2001 or 1998 for that matter.”
The Director General Military Operations (DGMO) has said Indian armed forces are ready for any contingency. He confirmed there exist no plans as of now for further operations.
Terrorists had begun gathering in large numbers along the LoC with the objective of crossing the border and targeting locations in J&K and other metros.
Asked if Pak could use atomic weapons in case of a war with India, he had replied, "If our defence and survival is in danger, then we should use everything."
The exchange of fire took place in the Bhimber, Hot Spring, Kel and Lipa sectors, and lasted about six hours early on Thursday, said the Pakistani military's press wing.
Indian political thinkers, writers and poets have been evoked across the world for the sheer breadth and scale of the grand humanitarian visions they posited.
Panel suggests grid-based system along the border, wherein, at vulnerable stretches, the Army and BSF ground troops would patrol with satellites for surveillance.
The report says the Pakistan military's ambitious National Action Plan made little headway to stop terrorism and has not done much to regulate hate speeches either.
The core purpose was to establish an escalatory pattern, which was done more eloquently over the next few days through concise brief, not as much a dossier.
Experts said China’s support is imperative for action against Pak based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed, which India believes carried out the attack in Uri.
