Indian Air Force Chief Air Marshal Amar Preet Singh on Sunday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence in Delhi, revealed sources. The meeting comes amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists.
The meeting comes a day after the Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi met with PM Modi on Saturday at his residence in the national capital. It also comes after PM Modi chaired a meeting in view of the Pahalgam terror attack, which was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, and three service chiefs.
A Cabinet Commitee on Security (CSS) meeting was held a day after the Pahalgam terror attack in south Kashmir. During a briefing to the CCS, cross-border linkages of the terror attack were unearthed.
Earlier, a Pakistani Ranger was apprehended by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan and taken into custody by its frontier, official sources said. The development comes nearly a fortnight after a BSF jawan, Purnam Kumar Shaw, was apprehended by Pakistan. Pakistan has refused to hand him over despite India registering a strong protest.
Meanwhile, sacked CRPF trooper Munir Ahmed said he solemnized his marriage with a Pakistani woman, Minal Khan, only after getting permission from the force’s headquarters last year. Ahmed decided to challenge his dismissal from service on the grounds of “national security.”
Pahalgam Terror Attack: How India Reacts
Their accounts displayed the automated message that they were not available in India because “we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.” Earlier this week, India banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for spreading provocative, communally sensitive content and misinformation against India, including several Pakistani media houses.
The X accounts of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and ex-minister Bilawal Bhutto have been blocked in India. The move came amid tension between India and Pakistan over the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto, the son of the slain former PM Benazir Bhutto, had said that blood would flow in the Indus River if India blocked the waters.
India has stopped the flow of water through the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River and is planning to do something similar at the Kishanganga Dam on the Jhelum River, a source told.
According to someone familiar with the matter, these hydroelectric dams — Baglihar in Ramban, Jammu, and Kishanganga in north Kashmir — give India the power to control when water is released.
