Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao criticised Pakistan for violating the cessation of hostilities with India, calling it a serious offence and warning of possible consequences.
Speaking to the ANI, Rao said, "We were ready for a ceasefire and an amicable discussion. But then, Pakistan attacking us again means that they are not interested in a truce." He called Pakistan's action a serious offence and stressed the possibility of similar attacks in future. "This is a serious offence. It is possible that they can do anything today as well. A war will be declared, as no one will accept this. Who will lose in this? Pakistan and its people. Already, there's no development in Pakistan," Rao stated. Earlier today, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal slammed US President Donald Trump over his recent social media post where he offered to mediate between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue following the cessation of hostilities between the two countries. Sibal stated that "many questions" will be raised following this post, and how "misinformation" was given to the opposition regarding the issue. He further appealed to the Union Government to call an all-party meeting and a special parliament session over the developments that have taken place in the past few days. He also appealed to all parties not to attend any meeting until Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn't chair it and showcased his confidence that if former PM Manmohan Singh were in the present time, then he would have called an all-party meeting and a special parliament session. India and Pakistan on Saturday worked out an understanding on the stoppage of firing and military action. However, hours after both countries agreed to stop all firing and military action on land, in the air, and sea, reports came of Pakistan violating the cessation of hostilities with India's air defence intercepting Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Srinagar. Red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones. Loud explosions were heard in Srinagar. A complete blackout has been enforced in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab and Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan. (ANI)
