Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told a high-level meeting attended by the country’ three services chiefs that the armed forces have “complete operational freedom” to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India's response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 25 tourists and one local.

After a pregnant Pakistani woman married in India appealed to President to allow her to stay back, another woman born in India and married in Pakistan refused to leave without her two children.

India has called Pakistan "a rogue state fuelling global terrorism" at the United Nations in the backdrop of the simmering border tension between the two nuclear powers-armed South Asian countries after the Pahalgam terror attack.
