Before that, Dr. Jaishankar with the fact that he spoke to Mr. Rubio, who “reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to working with India against terrorism”. Dr. In his conversation with Mr. Rubio, Jaishankar quoted the “cross -border links” between the terror Pahalgam and Pakistan. However, Mr. Rubio “encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de -escalate tensions and keep peace and security in South Asia.”

The tensions along the control line (LOC) have escalated after repeated violations by Pakistan. Yesterday, the General Director for Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries conducted discussions about the violations, with India warning Pakistan of dismissal. Although the conversation between DGMOS is a regular matter, it was the conversation that happened after shooting along the LOC.

In 2003, India and Pakistan signed a ceasefire agreement along the control line, to which both sides confirmed their commitment in February 2021 along the 740 km long border that separated the military of the two countries.

At the beginning of this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi headed an important meeting to check the security preparation of India after the attack, the second such meeting after Pahangam’s attack. The Cabinet Committee for Security (CCS) included the Defense Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister and Interior Minister.

After the CCS meeting, a further meeting of the cabinet committee for political matters (CCPA) began to discuss the proposition of the opposition after a special meeting of the parliament to discuss the terrorist attack by Pahalgam.

Top governmental sources said NDTV that the prime minister “gave the forces the full operational freedom to decide on the mode, the goals and the time of the reaction”. The Prime Minister emphasized that it is “our national determination, terrorism a crushed blow,” added the sources.

The tensions are not limited to military actions, but also contain diplomatic measures that India took to Pakistan after Pahalgam’s attack. Neu-Delhi brought the Indus water contract of 1960 in Abeyance, closed the border between Attari, revoked regular and medical visas to Pakistani nationals and yesterday closed airspace for all Pakistani and operated airlines.

Pakistan said in a Tit-for-Tat step that it would use the 1972 Simla Agreement in Abeyance and would use the future of the LOC in Limbo defined according to the agreement. Pakistan rejected India suspension of the Indus water contract and said that every step to stop the water flow was regarded as the “act of war”.
