J&K Terror Attack Highlights| Kharge slams PM Modi for skipping all-party meet, questions security lapse It has been two days since the deadly attack on tourists in J&K. At least 28 people have lost their lives, and a LeT-affiliated group has claimed responsibility. In response, India suspended the Indus Water Treaty -- which is vital for Pakistan, and has closed the Attari border, marking a significant downgrading of diplomatic ties with the neighbouring nation. Moreover, the Ministry of External Affairs took out a notification suspending visa services to Pakistani nationals with immediate effect. MEA said all existing valid visas issued by India to Pakistani nationals stand revoked with effect from April 27. Pakistan, in turn, not only suspended the 1972 Shimla Agreement, as well as all its other pacts with New Delhi, but also warned that any move by India to stop the water of the transboundary Indus River System from flowing into Pakistan would be deemed as “an Act of War. That's all for today, we will be back tomorrow as we closely track the situation in Kashmir. Goodnight!

J&K Terror Attack LIVE |  Statement by Comrade Dipankar Bhattacharya, General Secretary, CPI(ML) Liberation on Pahalgam Terrorist Attack

Instead of holding a genuine all-party meeting for a collective consultation in the wake of a major terrorist attack and security failure, the government appears interested in only a selective PR exercise.

In 1984 even the BJP had only two MPs. Keeping small parties, including the party in power in J&K, the National Conference, and parties like the CPI(ML) which are well known for their commitment to Constitutional governance and communal harmony, out of a crucial all-party meeting apparently because of their limited parliamentary strength, only betrays the Modi government's lack of seriousness and readiness to listen to voices from the ground.
