Uri attack: Jaish-e-Muhammad suspects in hand, evidence shown to envoy

India’s efforts to hold Pakistan accountable for the attack on a camp near the 12 Infantry Brigade headquarters in Uri escalated on Tuesday with Islamabad’s envoy to New Delhi, Abdul Basit, being summoned to the Ministry of External Affairs to be presented with evidence that the attack originated from territory under Pakistan’s control.

The National Investigation Agency earlier announced the arrest of two men it says “facilitated” last week’s strike which claimed the lives of 18 soldiers.

Yasin Khursheed, said to be a resident of Khiliana Kalan in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’s Muzaffarabad, and Faisal Hussain Awan, a resident of Potha Jahangir, disclosed during interrogation that they were ordered to “facilitate infiltration of a group of four Jaish-e-Muhammad cadre who carried out the Uri army camp attack”, the Ministry of External Affairs said.

PM Modi keen to hit back after Uri attack, seeks multipronged strategy to choke Pakistan

Going by the several rounds of meetings that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is holding with designated group of officers — civil, intelligence and military — it appears as though he is working on a multipronged strategic option to hurt Pakistan. A day after chairing a meeting to review the Indus Waters Treaty, it was announced that he will be holding a meeting on 29 September to review the 'Most Favoured Nation' (MFN) status given to Pakistan.

It indicates that he is not looking at a knee jerk military response but is weighing all possible options, assessing his own capabilities, weighing them carefully so that the cost of escalation on the Indian side can be minimised, yet the action is effective.

Shut Terror Havens, US Warns Pak; Islamabad's Agenda - Internationalise Kashmir?

The army today foiled two infiltration bids in Jammu and Kashmir - one in Uri, the other in Naugam. This on a day India began its project 'Isolate Pak' with Afghanistan and Bangladesh saying they are "ready to cooperate". Afghan envoy to India told NDTV that his country can consider SAARC boycott in Pakistan. The US, meanwhile, has warned Pakistan to shut terror havens and restrain nuclear weapon programs. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: what shape should India's 'isolate Pak' project can and should take? Is it time for India to boycott the SAARC session in Islamabad or join hands with countries like Afghanistan and Bangladesh to isolate Pakistan on its own home turf in Islamabad? How will Sushma Swraraj lead the offensive at UN General Assembly? We also look at Pakistan's not so hidden agenda - is the whole point to, once again, internationalise J&K?
