PM Modi Grants Armed Forces Full Operational Freedom After ...
PM Modi Grants Armed Forces Full Operational Freedom After ... Prime Minister Narendra Modi has granted the armed forces full operational freedom to decide the timing, targets, and nature of India’s response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The announcement came after a high-level security meeting involving Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, NSA Ajit Doval, and the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and CDS General Anil Chauhan. The Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians—mostly tourists—has triggered nationwide outrage and calls for strong retaliatory action. The PM’s decision signals a shift towards a more assertive military posture, recalling precedents like the 2016 Uri surgical strikes and the 2019 Balakot air strikes. The government’s “zero tolerance” approach to cross-border terrorism is further underscored by moves such as the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. As tensions with Pakistan escalate, operational autonomy for the armed forces increases the likelihood of a calibrated but forceful response, shaping India’s regional security dynamics in the weeks ahead.
