External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered his first reaction after the recent cessation of firing between India and Pakistan. He highlighted the international support received by India during the operation and India’s military response. On the cessation of firing and military action between India and Pakistan, EAM Dr S. Jaishankar said: "We achieved the goals which we set out to do by destroying the terrorist infrastructure. Since key goals were achieved, I think we reasonably took the position, because even at the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan saying we are striking at terrorist infrastructure and not the military, and the military has an option to stand out and not interfere. They chose not to take that good advice. Once they got badly hit on the morning of 10th May, the satellite pictures show how much damage we did and what little damage they did. It is clear who wanted cessation of firing..."
