The External Affairs Ministry spokesperson on Tuesday said that an “extremely effective” action by the Indian armed forces and the Indian Air Force (IAF) put Pakistani air bases out of action and Pakistan urged a ceasefire in the face of the might of the Indian armed forces.
“Where India is concerned, our stand was clear and consistent from the start. We would target terrorist infrastructure operating out of Pakistan. If the Pakistani military stayed out, there would be no problem. If they fired on us, we would respond suitably. Till the night of 9th May, Pakistan was threatening India with a massive assault. Once their attempt failed on 10th May morning and received a devastating Indian counter-response, their tune changed and their DGMO eventually reached out to us,” Jaiswal said at a press briefing in New Delhi.
