The meeting came a day after a day after India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop military actions. However, Pakistan violated the ceasefire between the two countries at several places last night. India reacted sharply, asking Pakistan to take “appropriate steps” to address these violations and deal with the situation with “seriousness and responsibility”.

The PM is understood to have reviewed the situation arising from the violation of the ceasefire by the Pakistani side.
