India and Pakistan on Saturday agreed on a military ceasefire after days of escalating tensions. US President Donald Trump gave the information first, claiming that the agreement was reached after US mediation. Minutes after which India’s foreign secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the news in a press conference. AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi reacting to the news said, “I wish our PM @narendramodi had announced the ceasefire rather than the President of a foreign country.”
Owaisi made several points regarding the ceasefire between the two nations. In his tweet on X said, “As long as Pakistan uses its territory for terrorism against India, there can be no permanent peace. #Ceasefire or no ceasefire we must pursue the terrorists responsible for #Pahalgam attack.”
Reiterating his stance on the issue, Owaisi said, “I have always stood by the government & the armed forces against external aggression. This will continue.”
Expressing gratitude to the armed forces and paying tributes to those who lost their lives he said, “I thank the armed forces for their bravery & their commendable skill. I pay homage to Army jawan, M Murali Naik, ADDC Raj Kumar Thapa & pray for all the civilians who were killed or injured during the conflict.”
“I hope this ceasefire gives respite to the people living in border areas,” he added.
He further said, “I also hope that Indians and Indian political parties learn from the past two weeks: India is strong when it is united; our enemies benefit when Indians fight Indians.”
Posing some question towards the government, he said,”I wish our PM @narendramodi had announced the ceasefire rather than the President of a foreign country. We have always been opposed to third party intervention since Simla (1972). Why have we now accepted it? I hope the Kashmir issue will not be internationalised, as it is our internal matter.”
He further said, “Why are we agreeing to talk on a neutral territory? What will be the agenda of these talks? Does the United States guarantee that Pakistan will not use its territory for terrorism?”
The ceasefire between India and Pakistan has reportedly been violated hours after both countries agreed on Saturday (May 10). Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah shared the news of explosions being heard across Srinagar even after the ceasefire agreement between both the countries.
