New Delhi, May 11 – A day after Pakistan allegedly violated a ceasefire agreement with India, tensions escalated as Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar denied any wrongdoing, calling the accusations “baseless” and asserting that Pakistan had no intention of breaking the truce.
Speaking to Geo News, Tarar said, “Pakistan cannot do any ceasefire violation nor has it thought about this. It is a moment of celebration and people are rejoicing since it is a victory for us.” He emphasized that no violations had occurred from the Pakistani side, urging “sanity to prevail.”
India, however, strongly refuted Pakistan’s claims. In a late-night media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that the ceasefire agreement between the Directors General of Military Operations had already been breached by repeated Pakistani violations within hours of the understanding. Misri stressed that India’s armed forces were instructed to retaliate firmly in case of any further provocations.
“The armed forces are maintaining a strong vigil on the situation,” Misri said. “They have been given instructions to deal strongly with any instances of repetition of the violations.”
This development follows India’s recent launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7, in retaliation to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. The operation targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
In response, Pakistan escalated tensions with artillery shelling and drone activity across the border, prompting India’s stern response and warnings of retaliation. While Pakistan continues to deny its involvement, India remains on high alert, demanding Islamabad act responsibly and address the situation with seriousness.
