New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to review the situation at the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border with Pakistan at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Friday.
A day after the surgical strikes, Modi is expected to assess the situation on the ground, sources said.
Pakistan has insisted that there was no strike by India even as its Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called a cabinet meeting on Friday.
India carried out surgical strikes on seven terror launch pads across the LoC in the early hours of September 29, with the Army saying it had inflicted "significant casualties" on terrorists preparing to infiltrate from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), days after Modi had warned that Uri attack would not go unpunished.
Top Opposition leaders were briefed by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday about the surgical strike carried out by the Army across the LoC to foil plans of terrorists to target some Indian towns.
Those who attended the meeting include Ghulam Nabi Azad (Congress), Sharad Pawar (NCP), Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M), Satish Chandra Mishra (BSP) and Ram Vilas Paswan (LJSP).
On Thursday, Pakistan summoned Indian High Commissioner Gautam Bambawale over "unprovoked firing" by India in which two Pakistani soldiers were killed.
