India Pakistan Ceasefire Highlights: Drone activity has been spotted in Barmer, after which a complete blackout has been enforced.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting with Defence minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar, NSA Ajit Doval and chiefs of all three services at his residence on Sunday, May 11.
Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump lauded the "strong and unwaveringly powerful" leadership shown by India and Pakistan in achieving a "ceasefire". On the Jammu and Kashmir issue, Trump said, "…I will work with you both [India and Pakistan] to see if, after a ‘thousand years,’ a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir."
India and Pakistan had reached a “bilateral understanding” along the Line of Control and International Border on Saturday. However, India said Pakistan violated the “understanding” as drones were sighted in parts of India hours after India announced the “ceasefire”.
India didn't use the word “ceasefire” while announcing de-escalation of conflict between India and Pakistan. Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar said on Saturday that “India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action."
Congress MP Manish Tewari explained that that the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan is not a "ceasefire" as it was not a war. A ceasefire is a situation in which each side agrees with the other to suspend military actions, and halt firing often due to mediation by a third party.
