New Delhi, May 13, 2025 – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared that India’s military actions against Pakistan are only temporarily paused, not permanently halted. His statement comes just days after the ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States on May 10, 2025.
India Stays Prepared for Retaliation
In his speech on May 12, 2025, Modi emphasized that India will not hesitate to retaliate against any act of terrorism that threatens its national security. He asserted that India makes no distinction between terrorist groups and the nations that support them, a clear reference to Pakistan.
Pakistan Accused of Harboring Terrorism
Modi accused Pakistan of prioritizing aggression against India over addressing terrorism within its borders. India claims that the April 22, 2025, attack in Kashmir, which resulted in 26 civilian casualties, was orchestrated by militant groups operating from Pakistan.
Lingering Tensions Despite Ceasefire
Although the ceasefire agreement was reached, Indian and Pakistani military officials are closely reviewing its terms to ensure compliance. Any violations or renewed hostilities could rekindle the conflict, as tensions between the two nations remain high.
Geopolitical Impact
Modi’s statement has raised concerns that the conflict could reignite at any moment, particularly if India perceives a renewed terrorist threat from Pakistan. China and the United States have urged both nations to remain committed to diplomatic solutions, warning against further escalation.
World leaders are now closely monitoring how India and Pakistan will uphold the ceasefire agreement, as Modi’s remarks signal the possibility of future military action.
