<h1>Action against terrorism: political parties back government measures including diplomatic downgrading and expulsion of military attaches.</h1> An all-party meeting following the Pahalgam terror attack secured cross-party condemnation and assurance of support for government counterterrorism measures, while flagging security lapses at the site. Intelligence and security ministers briefed leaders, who urged decisive action and higher-level political engagement. Concurrently, the government announced diplomatic and cross-border responses-including downgrading diplomatic ties, expelling military attaches, suspending an international water-sharing treaty, and closing a land-transit post-as part of its national security strategy.
