According to government sources, the Prime Minister skipped an official dinner in Saudi Arabia and made the decision to return immediately following the tragic events in Pahalgam. Upon his arrival in the national capital, PM Modi held a high-level meeting at Palam Airport with key officials, including External Affairs Minister S.
