Modi Claims India has only ‘Paused’ Military Action Post India-Pakistan Ceasefire Agreement

In a recent statement, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India has only “paused” its military action against Pakistan. This statement came after the India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement, which was widely celebrated by both nations. However, Modi’s remarks indicate that the pause is temporary, and India could resume military operations if provoked.

The India-Pakistan Ceasefire Agreement

The ceasefire treaty was signed in May 2025 after weeks of increased tensions along the Line of Control (LoC). The two nations committed to stopping military strikes under the deal. Modi’s statement, however, indicates that the ceasefire is not absolute and that India will resume the strikes if Pakistan is found to be supporting terrorism. Yes, the age-old narrative of blaming Pakistan for terrorism continues!

Modi’s Statement

Modi asserted that India had merely suspended its military operations, not given them up. He threatened that India would strike back if Pakistan continued to sponsor terrorism. The Indian Prime Minister dismissed Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail. He asserted that any future talks with Pakistan would be on terrorism and the return of Pakistan-held Kashmir alone. He asserted, “Terror and talks cannot go together.”

Pakistan’s Response

Pakistan greeted the ceasefire accord but kept its guard up. Pakistani authorities were hopeful that this would usher in an end to the Kashmir conflict. Yet Pakistan insists that India has to shift its approach towards Kashmir if there is to be any peace that will last. Both countries recognise that while the ceasefire is positive, many problems remain unresolved.

International Reactions

The global community generally viewed the ceasefire as a move toward easing tensions. The United States proposed to broker a permanent solution to the Kashmir conflict. India turned down third-party mediation, reiterating the fact that Kashmir is a domestic issue. Pakistan viewed international mediation favourably in the hope of obtaining an equitable end to the strife.

The Future of India-Pakistan Relations

Although the ceasefire has temporarily eased tensions, experts caution that it will not be sustainable. The fundamental issues, including the Kashmir conflict and cross-border terrorism, have not been addressed. Without sustainable solutions, the region is still susceptible to further conflict. The global community will continue to be involved in pressuring both sides to resolve their differences peacefully.

After all, India’s statement that it has merely “paused” military action underscores the tenuousness of the ceasefire. Although the accord may provide short-term comfort, true peace will depend on both nations reconciling their long-standing issues. Only through continuous dialogue and commitment can India and Pakistan aspire to prevent more violence.
