PM Modi to Chair Strategic Council of Ministers Meeting Post-‘Operation Sindoor’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to convene a crucial meeting of the Union Council of Ministers on June 4, the first such assembly since India launched its decisive military campaign, Operation Sindoor. The meeting comes at a pivotal time, just weeks after India’s precision strikes targeted terror infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Launched on May 7 in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in April—which claimed the lives of 26 civilians—Operation Sindoor marked a bold and calculated military response. Indian Armed Forces conducted precision air and ground operations across nine identified terror sites, demonstrating strategic finesse and inflicting heavy damage on enemy positions, while minimizing collateral impact.
In addition to neutralizing terror camps, the operation included targeted strikes on Pakistan’s military installations, particularly key airbases, underscoring India’s evolving doctrine of proactive defense and deterrence.
The upcoming ministerial meeting is expected to serve as a high-level review of Operation Sindoor, with detailed briefings on its execution, intelligence inputs, and broader strategic implications. Officials suggest that the agenda will also encompass preparations for commemorating the Modi government’s first anniversary in its third term. Sources indicate that Prime Minister Modi will use the platform to outline his administration’s ongoing governance agenda, with a renewed emphasis on national security, economic growth, and regional diplomacy. Key government initiatives and their progress will also be reviewed, ensuring policy alignment across ministries.
This quarterly Council of Ministers meeting, which brings together top policymakers and senior bureaucrats, carries additional weight given the geopolitical significance of India’s latest military action. It is expected to signal the government’s continued focus on internal security and assertive foreign policy.
In previous statements, PM Modi has reaffirmed India’s zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, declaring Operation Sindoor a watershed moment that sets a “new normal” in India’s defense posture. As the nation observes one year under his current leadership, this meeting is poised to reinforce the administration’s commitment to both security and sustained development.
