Topic Description:

Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Monday briefed a select group of heads of missions on the planned terrorist attack in Nagrota district in Jammu, which was foiled on November 19. In what will be the first of several briefings to be conducted by the MEA in small groups in view of the pandemic, Shringla explained the implications of the incident on security, diplomacy and the battle against terrorism. The decision to brief the envoys was taken last week at a security review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The envoys were provided with a detailed information docket giving the details of the incident as it transpired as well as a list of items and weapons recovered from terrorists “clearly indicating” their Pakistani origins. The government believes the incident is part of Pakistan’s ongoing terror campaign in J&K. In 2020, there have been 200 incidents of terrorist violence and killing of 199 terrorists.
