National Security Alert: Foreign Affairs Panel Meets Amid Pahalgam Attack, Vikram Misri to Brief on Indo-Pak Tensions

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs has convened a high-level meeting. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is expected to brief the committee on the recent developments, particularly the targeted civilian killings in Pahalgam by terrorists who allegedly asked victims about their religion before attacking.The attacks have been widely condemned, with Indian security forces intensifying counterterrorism operations under Operation Sindoor. Significantly, people from all communities are uniting against Pakistan-backed terror networks, rejecting divisive narratives being spread online.A growing concern is Pakistan’s use of social media platforms to provoke and radicalize Indian Muslims. In response, religious leaders in India have taken a firm stand. At Bareilly’s Dargah Aala Hazrat, a strong appeal was issued to the youth, urging them not to share Pakistani propaganda. In an Ulema meeting, clerics emphasized that patriotism is an essential part of Islam. “Loving your country is part of our faith. Islam commands loyalty to the nation where you reside,” said a prominent cleric.This united front—spanning intelligence agencies, religious scholars, and citizens—signals a strong resolve to defeat propaganda and uphold national unity.
