Last time after the Uri attacks in the year 2016, India had carried out precision surgical strikes in Lipa, Bhimber, Hot Spring and Kel sector of PoK.
After the ghastly attack of February 14, India has roughened its stand against Pakistan. In a hard-hitting speech, Modi said the "blood of the people is boiling" and forces behind the act of terrorism will be definitely punished"
It has withdrawn the ‘Most Favored Nation’ status given to Pakistan and in an economic strike, raised customs duty on all imports from Pakistan to 200%.
Apart from this, India has also initiated a coordinated move to put international pressure on Islamabad to crack down on terrorists operating from its soil. Jaitley also stated the Central government will take all steps to ensure the “complete isolation” of Pakistan.
