The meeting was also attended by Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar as India plans to launch a diplomatic offensive to isolate Pakistan at global fora, starting with the upcoming UN General Assembly.
A high-level meeting held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had authorised the diplomatic offensive, backed by clear proof of Pakistan Army backing to the four terrorists who mounted the early morning attack on the Uri camp.
The Indian Army has said that it will look into the attack and probe different aspects of the incident.
Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Ranbir Singh on Sunday had said that terror attack was orchestrated by "foreign terrorists" belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit.
In 2016, there have been 17 infiltration bids eliminated by the Indian Army along the Line of Control. Of a total of 110 terrorists eliminated in the state, 31 have been killed while they were attempting to cross the Line of Control.
