Ceasefire and Tensions Along the Border
The meeting also addressed the ceasefire brokered on May 10, 2025, with international support. Despite initial hopes for peace, violations have occurred along the Line of Control. India has emphasized the success of Operation Sindoor and its commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty. Meanwhile, Pakistan claims resilience, bolstered by support from international allies like China and Turkey.
President Murmu’s Remarks
During the briefing, President Murmu commended the armed forces for their courage and dedication. She stated that India’s response to terrorism had been a “sterling success” and highlighted the importance of staying vigilant and strong in the face of ongoing challenges.
Indian Government’s Position

What’s Next?
