CCPA Meet After Pahalgam Attack: What Is It? Why 'Super Cabinet' Meeting Is Significant?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a crucial meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs or CCPA -- the most important committee of the cabinet that has also been dubbed the "Super Cabinet".  The meet comes after a round of meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security - the next one is due today - following last week's shocking massacre of tourists in Kashmir's Pahalgam.  After the first round of the CCS meeting, the government had announced a series of non-military measures against Pakistan, including the freeze on the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting of the Attari border and cancellation of visas.  

The CCPA reviews and decides on important political and economic matters of the country and meets on crucial occasions. 

The CCPA mainly considers the relations between the Centre and the states, especially when there is a need to form consensus.

Discussions and decisions are made on economic policies and internal security issues that have political implications.
