Cabinet Committee on Security to discuss Uri attack today

September 21, 2016 08:23

The Cabinet Committee on Security is likely to meet today to discuss the situation arising out of the Uri terror attack.

Sources said the Cabinet Committee will meet in the morning ahead of the meeting of the Union Cabinet. The issue of terror strike on an army camp in Uri which led to the death of 18 soldiers will figure in the meeting.

Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has discussed the terror attack with top ministers, the CCS will formally discuss the issue.

The CCS could also have other agenda besides the Uri strike.

Sources in the government said that though such security-related issues are not discussed in the Union Cabinet, the issue of Uri attack could find a mention today.

Top brass of the government is convinced that India has to launch a calibrated, multi-layered and strategic response and expose Pakistan in international forums like the UN, whose General Assembly is in session, official sources said.
