Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first address since the conflict with Pakistan began, declared that India has only temporarily paused military operations, with future actions dependent on Pakistan’s behavior. His statement comes after a US-brokered ceasefire was violated by Pakistan within hours of its implementation.
“Operation Sindoor Showed India’s Resolve”
PM Modi emphasized that Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strikes against terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, was not just symbolic. “The world saw India’s determination turn into action—over 100 terrorists were eliminated,” he said. The operation was launched in response to the April 25 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people, including tourists.
Ceasefire Holds, But Pakistan Violates Within Hours
The ceasefire agreement, effective from 5 PM on Saturday, was breached by Pakistan shortly after. India accused Pakistan of resuming shelling in border areas, while Islamabad denied the claims. Despite the violations, both sides have largely halted major strikes since Sunday.
“Future Depends on Pakistan’s Behavior”
PM Modi made it clear that India’s restraint is conditional. “We have only paused our operations. If Pakistan continues supporting terror, we will respond decisively,” he warned. His remarks suggest that India retains the option to resume strikes if cross-border terrorism persists.
International Pressure for De-escalation
The US, UK, and UN have urged both nations to maintain the ceasefire. US President Donald Trump praised the truce, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for sustained dialogue. However, India maintains that Pakistan must act against terror groups for lasting peace.
