Pakistan Ceasefire Violation: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the country will observe Youm-i-Tashakur to commemorate the claim that Pakistan has given a befitting response to India and celebrate the purported success of Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos. This comes at a time when Pakistan violated the ceasefire on Saturday night after an understanding was reached between the DGMOs of the two countries for the stoppage of firing and military action.
What Pakistan Is Cheering For?
According to a statement issued by Shehbaz Sharif’s Office, Pakistan will mark the day to offer gratitude to God, pay tribute to the country’s armed forces, and appreciate the unity. The Dawn quoted the Pakistani PM as saying, “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos gave an effective and befitting response to the enemy’s aggression. Despite India’s aggression, Pakistan maintained its defence with resilience and demonstrated full readiness to deal with the situation.” He further added that the sacrifices of the armed forces of Pakistan will be remembered and that the entire nation stands united by their side.
Pakistan Breaches Ceasefire On The Contrary
On the contrary, Pakistan breached the ceasefire and initiated unprovoked firing on BSF posts late Friday night along the International Border in the Jammu sector. The violation prompted a swift and befitting response from the BSF, which foiled the neighbouring country’s ill intentions to harm India. At a special briefing last night, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said this is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today and India takes “very serious note of these violations”.
India’s firm action against Pakistan started with the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7 in a befitting response to the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Indian Armed Forces had hit nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, avenging the death of 26 innocent civilians.
