"Once again Indian government has resorted to a self-serving, reckless and fictitious claim," according to a statement by the committee.

The forum decided that India has committed uncalled aggression to which Pakistan shall respond at the time and place of its choosing. The prime minister has summoned a special meeting of National Command Authority on February 27.   PM Khan has also decided to engage with global leadership to expose irresponsible Indian policy in the region.
