ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has firmly rejected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent remarks, calling them "provocative and baseless," the Foreign Office said in a statement on Tuesday. The comments come at a sensitive time when diplomatic efforts for peace in the region are ongoing.

Chandigarh: Former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Tuesday raised questions about the "sudden ceasefire" despite having a strategic advantage, and demanded clarification from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the doubts being cast on the decision.

The spokesman for India’s foreign ministry said top leaders in New Delhi and Washington were in touch last week following the Indian military’s intense standoff with Pakistan, but that there was no conversation on trade.

Adampur was among the air force stations that Pakistan attempted to attack on the intervening night of May 9 and 10, following India's "Operation Sindoor".

Without referring to US President Donald Trump, PM Modi negated his claim that his administration was instrumental in getting India and Pakistan to suspend hostilities and agree to start comprehensive negotiations for peace.

CHANDIGARH: Former deputy chief minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia fired a series of pointed questions over the Indian government's handling of the ceasefire with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday visited the Adampur Air Base. PM Modi interacted with Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel at the air base. He was briefed on Operation Sindoor. Notably, the Adampur air base played a crucial role in the recent India-Pakistan conflict after India targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied

"If another terrorist attack against India is carried out, a strong response will be given," Modi said in a televised address to the nation, adding New Delhi would not tolerate "nuclear blackmail" in the event of conflict.

Kapil Sibal also criticised PM Modi for not clarifying how the ceasefire understanding between both nations was reached.
