New Delhi [India], May 11 (ANI): Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday said that the entire opposition supported the Union Government's decision to 'punish Pakistan for its deeds' following the Pahalgam terror attack.
He stated that the way Pakistan violated the ceasefire is a matter of concern.
'The opposition and the entire country supported the government's decision to punish Pakistan for its deeds, and our armed forces have also done so. However, the way Pakistan violated the ceasefire thereafter is a matter of concern--America announced the ceasefire, and the American side also said things like 'discussions to be held at a neutral place'. It's a worrying subject. Internationalisation of Kashmir is not acceptable to us... A special session of the parliament should be called and the PM should take the opposition into confidence, it will convey a message to the world', Sachin Pilot told ANI.
On Saturday, India and Pakistan agreed to cease hostilities, and USA President Donald Trump announced the same, sharing a post on his official Truth Social handle.
Earlier, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart earlier this and the two sides agreed to halt all military actions--on land, at sea, and in the air--effective from 1700 hours IST.
Misri noted that instructions have been issued to enforce the ceasefire, with another round of DGMO-level talks scheduled for May 12 at noon.
Despite the agreement, cases of ceasefire violation were reported on Saturday night, resulting in Srinagar, Jammu city, Kathua and Nagrota.
Red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Udhampur. A blackout was also enforced in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab and Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan. (ANI)
