J&K CM Omar meets PM Modi for first time after Pahalgam attack
The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Saturday, marking his first meeting with the PM since the devastating Pahalgam terror attack that took place on April 22, 2025. The meeting, which lasted for around 30 minutes, is believed to have been a crucial discussion on the recent security lapses and the government’s plan to tackle the rising threat of terrorism in the state.
The Pahalgam terror attack, which left at least 26 tourists dead, was a stark reminder of the fragile security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack, which was carried out by a group of heavily-armed militants, sent shockwaves across the country and raised serious concerns about the ability of the government to protect its citizens.
The meeting between Omar Abdullah and PM Modi comes at a time when the state is reeling under the aftermath of the attack. The Chief Minister is under intense pressure to ensure that the perpetrators of the attack are brought to justice and that measures are put in place to prevent such incidents in the future.
The PM, who has been under fire for his government’s handling of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, is believed to have used the meeting to assure Omar Abdullah that the government is committed to providing all necessary support to the state to tackle the terror threat.
Sources close to the meeting said that PM Modi told Omar Abdullah that the government is willing to provide additional security forces to the state to help maintain law and order. He also assured the Chief Minister that the government is working closely with the state to identify and disrupt the networks of militant groups operating in the region.
Omar Abdullah, who has been critical of the government’s handling of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, is believed to have pressed the PM to take concrete steps to address the security concerns in the state. He is said to have demanded that the government provides more resources to the state police to help them tackle the growing threat of terrorism.
The meeting comes ahead of a crucial meeting of the Union Home Minister with the Chief Ministers of all the states, which is scheduled to take place next week. The meeting is expected to focus on the issue of terrorism and the steps that can be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Pahalgam terror attack has triggered a fresh wave of concerns about the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack has also raised questions about the ability of the government to protect its citizens, particularly in areas that are considered to be vulnerable to militant attacks.
The attack has also led to a renewed debate about the role of Pakistan in funding and supporting militant groups operating in the region. Pakistan has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attack, but the Indian government has accused the country of providing support to militant groups operating in the region.
The meeting between Omar Abdullah and PM Modi is seen as a crucial step towards addressing the security concerns in Jammu and Kashmir. The Chief Minister is expected to use the meeting to press the PM to take concrete steps to address the security concerns in the state and to ensure that the perpetrators of the attack are brought to justice.
