The Army action came in the aftermath of terror attack in Uri on September 18 in which 18 soldiers were killed. The all-party meeting was convened to inform political parties across the board of the action taken by the Army. Just before the all-party meeting, Swaraj had met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on the development. With today's action, Naidu said Pakistan should realise that India would no longer tolerate incidents like Uri in future. Yechury said that his party supported the Army action but felt that military action is not the answer and talks should resume between the two neighbours.
