Indo-Pak ceasefire: BJP hails PM Modi, military
The BJP on Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and the bravery of the armed forces following the announcement of an understanding between India and Pakistan to stop all firings and military actions.
BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya said, "A heartfelt thank you to Prime Minister Modi and the brave Indian Armed Forces for their unwavering resolve and courage.
"At a time when the Pakistani military and its terror-aligned deep state hold near-total control over the population and national discourse, India has demonstrated unmatched strength and clarity of purpose." Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said every Indian is filled with pride, as he praised Modi for his resolute response to the Pahalgam terror attack and for bringing enemies "to their knees".
It is the win of India, Yadav said, lauding the prime minister for inflicting punishment on terrorists and their sponsors in a short span of time.
Malviya said despite the risks of engaging a dangerously nuclear-armed state, Indian forces have struck deep into the heart of Pakistan's deep state, dismantling terror infrastructure and sending a clear message to the sponsors of terrorism.
He said on X, "India stands proud today—because of your resolute leadership. Jai Hind!" The JD(U), a part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, welcomed the ceasefire announcement.

The directors general of military operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 5 pm on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has announced.

Warring congratulated the country's defence forces for bringing Pakistan to its heels just within 48 hours and said India has always maintained that it did not want any war.
"Our defence forces had only struck the terrorist training camps and killed the terrorists there," he pointed out and said that it was Pakistan, which escalated the conflict by attacking civilian population.
The Ludhiana MP reiterated the Congress' demand for an all-party meeting at the national level and a special session of Parliament as suggested by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.
"We have supported the government and we would like to know what have been the terms and conditions of the ceasefire," he said in a statemen
