PM Modi To Chair Council Of Ministers Meeting On 4 June, First After Op Sindoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reportedly chair the first meeting of the council of ministers on June 4 at 4.30 PM. The meeting on Wednesday will be the first since India retaliated to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and launched Operation Sindoor. India targeted nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) and subsequently retaliated against all Pakistani offensives under this operation.

According to Times Of India, the agenda of the meeting has not been shared yet. However, a discussion on the precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor and the thrust on public outreach to mark the 11th year of the Modi government are likely to feature in the meeting. Earlier, the PM had briefed cabinet ministers and had asked them to avoid making political commentary.

The news comes amid demands from the Opposition for a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack. The demand for a special session was fuelled even more after Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan in Singapore, admitted that India made "mistakes" early on during Operation Sindoor, but clarified that the mistakes were "rectified."

The CDS admitted that India lost an unspecified number of jets during the operation. He however, dismissed the Pakistan Prime Minister's claims that it shot down six Indian jets, including four Rafales, as "absolutely incorrect".
