Srinagar: The cessation of hostilities agreed upon by India and Pakistan on May 12 will continue, an army official said on Sunday.
Dispelling notions that the pause was temporary and it will end today, he said, “As far as the continuation of a break in hostilities as decided during the interaction of the DGMOs (Director General of Military Operations) is concerned, there is no expiry date to it.”
The official said no talks were scheduled between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan on Sunday.
On May 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India has just paused its operations on terror sites in Pakistan and will keep closely monitoring the neighbouring country.
“…We have just paused our attacks on the terrorist and military sites of Pakistan,” Modi said.
Emphasising that no nuclear threats or blackmailing will be tolerated, Modi stressed that terror attacks in India will have to face a befitting response.
“Terrorist attack on India will have to face a befitting reply, and the response will be on our terms,” he said.
