Two days after forty CRPF personnel were killed in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government called for an all-party meeting today. Most Opposition parties, including the Congress said they would support the government in all actions in the wake of the terror attack in Pulwama.
The Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said his party would not enter any conversation and would stand with the family of the 40 slain soldiers.
Former PM Manmohan Singh said, “We shall never compromise with terrorist forces… we will work together as one united nation to deal with this menace.”

You will have to pay a very heavy price...I assure everyone that the forces behind the attack...we will bring them to justice," PM Modi said in an address in Delhi after chairing a top-level security meeting with senior ministers.
The international community strongly condemned the terror attack by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), with US President Donald Trump asking Pakistan to "end immediately" the support and safe haven provided to all terrorist groups operating on its soil.
