Pakistan National Security Committee readied the strategy to counter the Indian threat: sources

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan National Security Committee readied the strategy to counter the Indian threat, sources have revealed.

PM Imran had convened a meeting of the NSC to discuss issues pertaining to the national security in the wake of cluster bomb attack carried out by India against civilians in Neelum Valley.

A strategy to effectively respond to provocation by India was readied during the NSC meeting, a notification said, as security situation of the country was assessed.

A briefing on the situation in IoK was given during the NSC meeting, which was attended by the chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (JCSC), the heads of all three armed forces, intelligence officials, federal ministers of defence, foreign affairs, and interior, and the directors-general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The heightening tensions following the deteriorating situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) were pondered upon during the meeting, the notification mentioned, with the NSC stating that India's actions in the region were contributing to worsening the conditions.

India's motives have been revealed in terms of internal and foreign affairs and a panicked New Delhi may come up with dangerous options to hide its failures, the notification said.
