New Delhi: Ministry of External Affairs summoned today Pakistan’s Charge dÁffaires (CDA) and lodged a strong protest over the plan of the terror attack at Nagrota foiled by alert Indian security forces.
India summoned Pakistan High Commission official and lodged a strong protest at the attempted terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on November 19 which was reportedly planned by Pak-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
This has come after Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted a review meeting on Friday with top security brass in the wake of the JeM terror attack at Nagrota and greeted alert forces. The security forces are said to have shown big courage and professionalism to foil efforts of a terror attack. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, NSA Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary, and top intelligence officials were present at the review meeting presided over by the Prime Minister.
Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that Pakistan must stop supporting terrorists and terror groups operating from its territory and dismantle the terror infrastructure operated by terrorist outfits to launch attacks in other countries.
MEA stated that India reiterated its long-standing demand that Pakistan fulfills its international obligations and bilateral commitments to not allow any territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India in any manner.
It reiterated that India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to safeguard its national security in the fight against terrorism.
Initial reports indicate the attackers to be members of Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a terrorist organization proscribed by the United Nations and several countries. The Government of India expressed its serious concerns at continued terror attacks by JeM against India.
Four suspected Jaish terrorists were killed and two policemen injured in the Nagrota gunbattle after a truck carrying newly infiltrated terrorists was intercepted by security forces. JeM has been part of several attacks in India in the past, including the Pulwama attack in February 2019.
The MEA statement said the huge cache of arms, ammunition and explosive material indicate detailed planning for a major attack to destabilise the peace and security in Jammu and Kashmir, in particular, to derail the ongoing democratic exercise of conduct of local District Development Council elections.
