According to the government sources, Top military commanders warned that Pakistan’s army had raised its defensive posture along the Line of Control (LoC) and so told Prime Minister Narendra Modi and key ministers to stay away from rash military action at their first full-scale meeting yesterday.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley participated in the meeting and were told by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Army chief General Dalbir Singh to choose long-term options to retaliate against jihadist logistics and the Pakistani military infrastructure.

Reportedly, Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Sharif told his top commanders that the military was “watchful” towards the security imperatives of the country in the wake of “a hostile narrative” by India following the Uri attack. A statement from Pakistan Army quoted its chief as saying that the “armed forces of Pakistan are fully prepared to respond to entire spectrum of direct and indirect threat”.

Currently, Indian government is only focusing on gathering the required evidence. Regarding this, NIA detectives are focusing on recovering the data from one of the two Garmin-manufactured Global Positioning Sets salvaged from the terrorists killed at the camp.
