For three days, the attacks of shelling, drones and missiles on the western border have now stopped and all eyes are on the conversation between the DGMO of both countries on Monday evening. Orders have been given to start civilian flights at 32 Indian airports in northern India. These airports were closed due to airstrikes going on since 8 May. Censaux closed at 82,430 with a rise of 2,975 points today at the Mumbai Stock Exchange. There was no movement of any drone from Pakistan on the western border on Sunday night. Talking to the media on Monday, Director General of Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti said that all the bases and all the systems of our Air Force are still alert and if needed, they are ready to carry out any new mission if needed. In response to a question, Air Marshal narrated this line of Ramcharitmanas, “Vinay na Maanat was rooted three days. Before media briefing, the line from the poem of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, ‘No longer there will be a battle, the struggle will be very fierce’. Air Marshal said that from the beginning, India’s war was with terrorism because Pahalgam was with the massacre “: The pot of sin was filled.” He said that our army destroyed the terrorist bases in Pakistan and PoK, but Pakistan decided to jump into the war by standing in support of the terrorists and received a tremendous reply from our three armies. Air Marshal gave a clear warning that if Pakistan again misbehaved, it would be given a fierce and punitive reply.
The question now is why India stopped its retaliation? Why is India not attacking Pakistani bases anymore? Why did India agree to consent with Pakistan to stop military action? Our Generals said that when the army of India destroyed the bases of terrorists present in Pakistan, after which Pakistan carried out several attacks in India in the process of showing their public. Blew drones inside our borders, created war -like conditions, India responded to Tit for TAT. Now the question arises as to how the ceasefire was and what is the story behind it? How America jumped into it?
On the night of May 9, US Vice President J, D, Vance called Narendra Modi. Modi said that Pakistan’s bullet will be responded to from the shell. The same night Pakistan attacked twenty -six locations in India. India retaliated with Pakistan’s Vayusena’s bases, causing heavy damage to Pakistan’s Air Force, destroying the air defense system. India’s missiles reached Rawalpindi, an attack which has a nuclear command center of Pakistan. The army of India instructed that Pakistan had to give a befitting reply. The US Intelligence told President Trump that Pakistan’s nuclear base is on target of India’s missiles, a plan to make a widespread attack on Pakistan. The American Intelligence also told Trump that General Asim Munir has called a meeting of the Nuclear Command Authority. There will be a fierce attack and retaliation between India and Pakistan on Saturday and Sunday. After this Trump became active. He asked Vice President JD Vance to talk to both countries and to increase the conflict in any way. Trump feared that nuclear weapons could be used. Trump later wrote about the possibility of using nuclear weapons in his message on social media that millions of people could be killed and widespread destruction if nuclear weapons were used.
To stop Pakistan, Vance spoke to Pakistan’s PM Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir, later talked to our NSA Ajit Doval. Then US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also landed. He told India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar that Pakistan is ready to stop firing, are you ready? Jaishankar said that the only way to stop firing on the border is to talk at DGMO level. The first request from Pakistan’s DGMO came at one o’clock in the afternoon, our DGMO did not respond to this. After this, DGMO of Pakistan again called at three thirty five minutes. This time it was talked about, it was decided to stop firing. As soon as this news was given to Trump, Trump immediately announced it on Twitter. He gave impression that talked at the US level and ceasefire. But India kept the matter at the level of DGMO and called it an understanding (consent) instead of the agreement. During this conversation, Pakistan told America that it wants to talk to India, wants to solve the issue of Kashmir. When this thing was brought to India, India said that there is nothing to talk to Pakistan, if Pakistan wants to return to India, then it can be a matter, if Pakistan wants to hand over the absconding terrorists to India, then there can be talk, there is nothing to talk about.
