Paying tribute to the 26 persons killed in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence observed a two-minute silence.
The panel was meeting to hold a review of resettlement policies, healthcare facilities, and other avenues for ex-servicemen.
The meeting was attended by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
Sources said the members did not enquire into the terror attack. There was a view that the panel should call for the government’s internal probe on the Pathankot attack, but no final call was taken. On January 2, 2016, four militants belonging to the Islamic terrorist United Jihad Council attacked the Indian Air Force’s Pathankot Airbase, part of its Western Air Command. Eight persons, including seven security personnel, were killed in the attack.
