Government calls all-party meeting after surgical strikes

New Delhi, Sept 29: The government has called an all-party meeting on Thursday in the wake of surgical strikes across the India-Pakistan border late on Wednesday night.

"We are with the army because they know the situation well and have been facing all the challenges. We will speak after the all-party meeting, which has been convened by the government today around 4 pm," Congress spokesperson Raj Babbar told reporters here.

India caused "significant casualties" on terrorists and those supporting them during the surgical strikes across the India-Pakistan border on Wednesday night, the Indian Army earlier said.

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt. General Ranbir Singh in a press conference said: "Indian Army conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads on the LoC last night. Despite our persistent urging to Pakistan to not allow territory under its control to be used for terrorist activities nothing was done."
