"Conditional" Ceasefire, No Change In India's Position On Indus Treaty: Sources

The ceasefire with Pakistan is a conditional one and there is no change in India's position on the diplomatic measures against the neighbouring country, including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, sources have said. 

The move to negotiate a ceasefire, the sources emphasised, was initiated by Pakistan and pointed to a statement by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who underscored that India has an uncompromising stance against terrorism, which will not change.

The Ministry of Defence, in a press conference after the ceasefire, also emphasised that India had not only fended off three big waves of missile and drone attacks by Pakistan but also caused extensive damage to its air defence systems, making defending its airspace unsustainable. 

Every Pakistani misadventure, the ministry stressed, has been met with strength and any escalation in the future will also invite a decisive response.
