Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a crucial meeting with the chiefs of the three military branches on Tuesday. During this 90-minute session, the Prime Minister gave the green light for decisive action against terrorism, granting full freedom to the military. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, NSA Ajit Doval, CDS Anil Chauhan, and the chiefs of the three branches were present. In this high-level meeting, the Prime Minister endorsed significant and firm actions.
According to sources, Prime Minister Modi has granted full freedom to the military for a decisive fight against terrorism. The armed forces have the liberty to respond to the nation's adversaries however they see fit. This means that it's now time for a definitive fight against terrorists and their masterminds. However, Prime Minister Modi had already hinted at India's potential actions.
On April 22, a terrorist plot was executed. CCS met on April 23, and another crucial meeting is set for Wednesday. These meetings are crucial because, following the April 23 session, India launched a diplomatic strike against Pakistan. Now, it's time for military action.
Meanwhile, even before India takes any decisive action, Pakistan is making nuclear war threats. Despite these scare tactics, it is a fact that India has quelled Pakistan’s misguided attempts at war howsoever times. By penning the script for the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Pakistan has once again invited its own peril.

Indian Army Free to Decide
The Pahalgam terrorist attack could be the final nail in the coffin for terrorists and their sponsors, mainly Pakistan, which is historically known for its actions against peace. India has openly declared its intent to address and counteract the terrorists responsible for such heinous acts, hinting that their bases in Pakistan-controlled territories are within its sights.
In the high-level meeting, PM Modi made it clear that the Indian army has the freedom to make any decision required. This means India could take military action against Pakistan at any time, and Pakistan is now preparing defensively, fully aware that an attack may occur at any moment.
Indian Army Rehearsing for Possible Actions
The Indian army is fully prepared, and images of its rehearsals have already surfaced. Everything from Rafale jets to INS Surat has been tested, sending shivers down Pakistan's spine. Reports suggest that news of an imminent attack on Pakistan could emerge at any moment. Pakistan is actively trying to prepare for attacks from all fronts, clearly rattled and in disarray. Consequently, Pakistan has started relocating terrorists from POK launch pads to safer places, while also evacuating them from Bahawalpur's Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters.
Given the possibility of surgical and airstrikes, Pakistan's biggest concern is safeguarding its terrorists. Indian security agencies have informed that during the Pahalgam attack, 42 active launch pads existed in POK, with over 130 terrorists stationed there, sending incursions into Jammu and Kashmir.
In response to the 2016 Uri attack, a surgical strike by the Indian military targeted terrorist launch pads in POK, eliminating hundreds of terrorists. The fear of an Indian attack is evident from Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif's comments. He suggested that India would certainly attack Pakistan, a concept he reiterated in interviews with both a news agency and a Pakistani channel, warning that a war could break out within 2 to 4 days.
Pakistan's Ammunition Consumption on LOC Amid Air Strike Fear
Fearing an Indian airstrike, Pakistan's combat and reconnaissance aircraft are flying around the clock. Pakistan, strapped for cash and seeking IMF support, is consuming ammunition along the LOC following the Pahalgam attack, along with fueling fighter jets. It recently carried out two large-scale war exercises, Fiza-e-Badr and Lalkar-e-Momin. Fiza-e-Badr is preparing to respond to airstrikes in the Northern Command, while Lalkar-e-Momin showcases extensive aerial maneuvers in the Central Command, featuring J-10C fighter jets imported from China.
These actions follow recent India-Pakistan tensions and the Kashmir attack. The Pakistani Air Force claims readiness to counter any attack, cognizant that India’s next move might be massive, which is why it continues making nuclear threats. Recently, Maryam Nawaz, Chief Minister of Punjab province, referenced nuclear weapons, boasting that Pakistan cannot be intimidated.
Pakistan Shifts Radar Systems Out of Fear
According to exclusive information received by Aaj Tak, Pakistan shifted its radar systems to the Sialkot sector to detect any possible aerial strikes from India. Additionally, Pakistan is preparing for electronic warfare. Another TPS-77 radar has been installed just 58 kilometers from the international border, in Chore Cantonment. Electronic warfare units have been spotted across from the Ferozepur sector of India. Pakistan has deployed more troops on forward posts and moved its artillery regiment from Sialkot to Shakargarh.
Pakistan is mobilizing heavy artillery regiments near the Line of Control (LoC) with India, including those spotted near Lahore encompassing the Sindh Regiment. It is conducting hammer strike exercises in Kharian, across from the Jammu sector, and has deployed artillery along the India-Pakistan border. Reports indicate Pakistani Frontier Force regiments and detachments are stationed across various border locations with India.
