New Delhi, May 10 (PTI) The BJP on Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the bravery of the armed forces following the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

BJP’s IT department head Amit Malviya said, “A heartfelt thank you to Prime Minister Modi and the brave Indian Armed Forces for their unwavering resolve and courage.

“At a time when the Pakistani military and its terror-aligned deep state hold near-total control over the population and national discourse, India has demonstrated unmatched strength and clarity of purpose.” Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said every Indian is filled with pride, as he praised Modi for his resolute response to the Pahalgam terror attack and for bringing enemies “to their knees”.

It is the win of India, Yadav said, lauding the prime minister for inflicting punishment on terrorists and their sponsors in a short span of time.

Malviya said despite the risks of engaging a dangerously nuclear-armed state, Indian forces have struck deep into the heart of Pakistan’s deep state, dismantling terror infrastructure and sending a clear message to the sponsors of terrorism.

He said on X, “India stands proud today—because of your resolute leadership. Jai Hind!” The JD(U), a part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, welcomed the ceasefire announcement.

JD(U) spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said India has taught Pakistan a lesson that it will never be able to forget.

The directors general of military operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 5 pm on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said Saturday evening.

The brief announcement by the foreign secretary came shortly after US President Donald Trump said India and Pakistan have agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after talks mediated by the US.

The DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 3.35 pm earlier this afternoon, Misri said. PTI KR RT
