New Delhi, May 8 (V7N) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has convened an all-party meeting on Thursday, May 9, in New Delhi. The move comes amid rising national security concerns and heightened political engagement across the country, ahead of crucial policy discussions. According to ANI sources, invitations have been extended to leaders of all major political parties, signaling the government’s intent to build consensus on key national matters.

The meeting will be preceded by a high-stakes session of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at 11:00 AM, also chaired by Prime Minister Modi. The CCS, India's highest decision-making body on national security and strategic affairs, is expected to deliberate on emerging security challenges and potential policy responses.

Senior cabinet members confirmed to attend include:

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

Highly placed sources suggest the CCS agenda may include briefings on cross-border developments, internal security assessments, and diplomatic strategy in light of evolving geopolitical tensions in the region.

The all-party meeting, scheduled shortly after the CCS gathering, is expected to brief opposition leaders on key national issues. Political analysts view the dual meetings as part of the Modi government’s strategy to demonstrate transparency, strengthen political unity, and reinforce India’s security posture.

With the country currently in a politically sensitive phase—owing to ongoing electoral processes and global diplomatic engagements—the back-to-back high-level discussions are being watched closely both domestically and abroad.
