Narendra Modi said India has only "suspended" military operations against Pakistan and will "retaliate on its own terms" as the ceasefire is an attack in any attack after the weekend raised hostilities between the two countries.
The Indian Prime Minister said that since the attacks between India and Pakistan began his first address – both sides fired missiles at each other’s main military bases and airports – the Indian Prime Minister said he was “surveillance every step in Pakistan”.
Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the two countries on Saturday, stopping fears that the two nuclear-weapon states have inflicted damages on the full-scale war for the first time in decades.
India launched its first attack on Pakistan on Wednesday in retaliation for the deadly armed attack on Kashmir, which was managed in India in April, which will be blamed on Pakistan-backed terrorist groups. It was flanked by drone and missile strikes and shelled Kashmir along the disputed border.
Both Trump and Pakistani officials praised U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance for the peace between the two countries after hours of intense negotiations with India and Pakistan.
But Modi did not mention the role of the United States in the ceasefire. Instead, he insisted on India's boundaries that Pakistan made its first ceasefire with India's first military operation on Saturday, while Pakistan called on global communities to seek help.
Trump claimed in a comment at the White House on Monday that the U.S. “stopped nuclear conflict” in its intervention with India and Pakistan. "I think it could be a bad nuclear war, and millions of people could be killed. So I'm proud of it," he said.
Modi's speech also mentioned the nuclear threat of escalating tensions last week, adding that India will not tolerate "nuclear blackmail" in any future conflict with Pakistan.
On Monday, Pakistani security officials said one of the terms of the ceasefire was an agreement that future negotiations would be held in third countries and that the United Arab Emirates would surface as a possible venue.
In his speech, Modi mentioned future negotiations but said: "If we talk to Pakistan, it will be about terrorism...it will be related to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir".
By Monday, it seems that a fragile ceasefire will continue to hold. Along the Line of Control, the disputed border divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan, with all the cross-border shelling and aggression showing no signs of recovery last week. India has also reopened 32 airports across northern India, which have been closed as cross-border hostilities escalate.
"In Jamu and Kashmir and other areas along the international border, peace was largely maintained that night," Indian troops said in a statement on Sunday night. Both sides also agreed to reduce the presence of troops on the border in a call between military officials in India and Pakistan.
In Kashmir, managed by India, a team of experts was sent to the border area to weaken the unexploded bombs as thousands of people evacuated from the border area to return home.
