Alright, so the ceasefire that Pakistan was all excited about and confirmed this morning? Yeah, well, it totally fell apart within just a few hours. Shelling started up along the Line of Control in Jammu’s Palanwalla sector, and things went downhill real quick. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri didn’t hold back and straight-up called out Pakistan’s military for breaking the ceasefire agreement they had just made. He was not happy, to say the least, and made it clear that Indian forces were not going to sit back and take it. They were ready to respond with force, no doubt about it.
Misri wasn’t playing around when he said, “For the last few hours there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening.” He was not mincing words when he called Pakistan out for being responsible for the breach of trust. The guy was serious when he said Pakistan needed to own up to their actions and fix things ASAP.
And to make matters worse, drones and suspicious UAVs were shot down over Baramulla, and there were reports of artillery fire in Akhnoor, Rajouri, and RS Pura. The situation was getting intense, with blackouts enforced in Srinagar, Baramulla, Pathankot, and other areas. Air defense systems were activated to deal with the fresh threats, and things were definitely not looking good.
J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was not holding back either. He took to X to express his frustration, saying, “This is no ceasefire. The air defense units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up. Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!” The guy was clearly not happy with how things were going down.
What makes this whole situation even more messed up is that Pakistan was the one who reached out to India in the first place. They were the ones who wanted to make peace, but now they were the ones breaking it. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.
The whole ceasefire mess was supposed to be a big deal, especially since U.S. President Donald Trump was singing its praises. Apparently, he had a hand in getting Pakistan to agree to it, tying their $1 billion IMF loan to sticking to the truce. But India was not having any of it. Misri made it clear that they were not going to let Pakistan slide with this one. The forces were ready to respond, and they were not messing around.
The ceasefire collapse was a big blow, and there was no sugarcoating it. Misri laid the blame squarely on Pakistan, making it clear that they were the ones who messed things up. The situation was tense, and there was no telling how things would play out next. The ball was in Pakistan’s court, and they needed to step up and make things right. Hopefully, they would get their act together before things got even more out of hand.
And that’s where we stand right now. The ceasefire that was supposed to bring peace and stability ended up causing more chaos and confusion. The coming days will be crucial in determining how things unfold. One thing’s for sure, though — tensions are high, and there’s no telling what might happen next. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
