New Delhi, April 24
The official X handle of the Government of Pakistan has been withheld by India following the dastardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 people and injured several others.
Earlier, in a strong diplomatic offensive following the brutal attack, India summoned Pakistan's top diplomat in New Delhi, Saad Ahmad Warraich, and handed over a formal Persona Non Grata note for all its military attaches, sources said.
These moves come after 26 people were killed and many others injured in the deadly assault that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has termed a "cowardly attack on innocent civilians."
The attack, believed to be orchestrated by Pakistan-based terror outfit The Resistance Front, has triggered a series of sweeping retaliatory actions from India.
Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday chaired a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), which lasted over two hours and was attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, among others.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) outlined a series of measures aimed at directly targeting Pakistan's diplomatic, economic, and military linkages with India.
