There was no meeting of the Union Cabinet last week, and only the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) had met April 23 and had condemned the terror attack.

After the CCS meeting, India had Wednesday last announced a number of measures, including downgrading diplomatic ties with Pakistan.

Among other measures, India announced expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the over six-decade-old Indus Water Treaty and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post in view of the cross-border links to the Pahalgam terror attack.
