#BREAKING: Foreign Secretary @harshvshringla today briefed a select group of Heads of Missions on the planned terror attack in Nagrota district in Jammu which was foiled on 19th November and the implications of the incident on security, diplomacy and the battle against terrorism.
This is the first of several briefings by Ministry of External Affairs in small groups in view of #COVID19. Other Secretaries will also brief Heads of Missions in their areas of jurisdiction. Idea is to share information as widely as possible with the international community.
Heads of Missions were provided with a detailed information docket giving the details of the incident as it transpired as well as list of items and ammunition that were recovered from terrorists clearly indicating their Pakistani origins.
Foreign envoys were briefed on how the terrorists got into India which is now clear through the discovery of an underground tunnel in the Samba sector.
It was shared with them how preliminary investigations by the police and intelligence authorities, markings on the recovered AK47 rifles and other items lead us to believe that the terrorists belonged to Pakistan based Jaish-e- Mohammad.

#BREAKING: J&K Government confirms the involvement of former J&K Chief Minister and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah in the encroachment of government land at Sunjwan in Jammu under the massive Roshini Scam. Sharing a thread on the details from probe agencies below.
Private residence built by NC leader & former CM Farooq Abdullah is on State/Forest land. Intriguing modus operandi adopted by Abdullah was unraveled following a probe by the revenue department to look into usurpation and encroachment of state land by influential politicians.
In 1998 Abdullah bought 3 Kanals from different land owners on a private khasra number 21 situated at a different location in village Sunjwan, Jammu. Abdullah instead of taking possession over 3 Kanals of this land encroached more than 7 Kanals of nearby prime state/forest land.
#BREAKING: Kidnapper of Indian National Kulbhushan Jadhav and Jaish al-Adl terrorist Mullah Omar, killed by Pakistan Army in Turbat, Balochistan along with his son, as per local sources. He was most wanted in Iran (working for Pakistan) and had handed over Jadhav to Pak Army.
Big development comes days after Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif met Pakistani military leadership in an official visit to Islamabad. Photograph posted of the terrorist Mullah Omar’s dead body by a local handle in Balochistan. What did Pakistan want to hide by eliminating him?
Local media reports in Pakistan also confirm the killing of Mullah Omar.
BIG: NIA right now is conducting massive raids across Kashmir. Multiple raids underway in Srinagar. Those raided include Athroat, N.G.O Nawakadal, Greater Kashmir office at Press Colony, H.B Hilton House Boat at Nehru Park and residence of Khurram Parvaiz. (Terror funding?)
Having followed NIA investigations, it hasn’t been an easy road. Kudos to the NIA officials both in New Delhi and J&K for not losing hope and following leads for years. This raid today proves that grassroots and ecosystem of terror won’t be tolerated anymore in Kashmir valley.
#UPDATE: NIA raids underway at 10 locations across Kashmir including Bandipora of North Kashmir. NIA probing hawala racket, misappropriation of funds and terror funding.

They also deliberated upon how to promote regional and international cooperation with regard to Afghanistan. @US4AfghanPeace
Thread on what External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar told his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi during the two and half hour long meeting in Moscow as per my sources. Interesting insights from history to the present situation at the LAC. Read below. 👇
EAM underlined that since resumption of Ambassadorial level relations in 1976 & holding of boundary talks since 1981, India China relations have developed on a largely positive trajectory. Large troops presence was not in accordance with 1993/1996 Agreements. Led to flash points.
The Chinese side has not provided a credible explanation for this deployment. The provocative behavior of Chinese frontline troops at numerous incidents of friction along the LAC also showed disregard for bilateral agreements and protocols.
