PM Modi holds meeting with Defence heads

New Delhi, Sept 24 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Defence heads on Saturday to discuss India's security situation in the country, particularly in the light of the Uri terror attack, reports said.

The chiefs of Army and Air Force and the  vice chief of the Navy are in the meeting with the PM.

The meeting takes place amid a heightened tension in India and brainstorming the Government is going through to give a fitting response to the September 18 attack, carried by Pak terrorists in which 18 soldiers were killed.

While India has held Pakistan responsible for the audacious strike, the Prime Minister had reportedly adopted a policy to isolate the country diplomatically and brand it as a terrorist state.

This was reflected in the United Nations where India described Pakistan as the "sponsor of Ivy League of terrorism"

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar summoned Pakistan's High Commissioner Abdul Basit on Wednesday and presented to him the evidence of Pakistan's role in the attack.

However, Pakistan has denied having any role in the attack and said all allegations are "baseless and irresponsible."
