Pakistan has violated cease fire agreements just hours after it came to effect, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, said late evening on Saturday. Armed forces have also been asked to “lead strongly” in case of any violations along the International Border and Line of Control. 

The cease-fire agreement, to be reviewed again on May 12, was aimed at halting four days of intense cross-border hostilities by the nuclear-armed neighbour following India’s Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

Misri, addressing a press briefing, condemned Pakistan for breaching the understanding reached between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. 

“…within hours, Pakistan violated this understanding,” he said. 

“For the last few hours there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the Director General of  Military Operations of India and Pakistan. This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today,” Misri added. 

According to him, the Armed  Forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations. 

“…And we take very, very serious notice of violations,” he said. 

“We call upon Pakistan, to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility,” Misri added. 

According to him, India’s Armed Forces “are maintaining a strong vigil on the situation”. 

“They have been given instructions to lead strongly with any instances of a repetition of the violations of the border – along the international border and also the Line of Contol,” Misri said.
