Patna, May 10 (NationPress) Following the declaration of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after weeks of escalating tension post-Operation Sindoor, Bihar Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to assemble a special session of Parliament to update the nation with specific dates and details regarding the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22 leading up to the ceasefire announced on Saturday.
“The Parliament must showcase a united front for India and express gratitude to our armed forces. This platform should deliver a strong, collective message to 'Antakistan' — the nation that fosters terrorism,” stated Yadav.
He underlined the need for transparency and democratic dialogue, asserting that the citizens of India deserve to be informed of every significant development during this pivotal moment.
Meanwhile, Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan, also known as Pappu Yadav, sharply criticized the U.S. involvement in the ceasefire discussions.
“Why is the American President making such declarations on India’s behalf? This is a violation of our sovereignty. A ceasefire is acceptable, but only on India’s conditions,” remarked the independent MP.
Shyam Sundar Sharan, Chief National Spokesperson of the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM), praised the Indian stance, claiming that Pakistan was “compelled” to submit.
“India has agreed to this ceasefire with a clear and final warning. Any future terrorist plot will now be considered an act of war. We’ve shown restraint, but if provoked again, Pakistan will face repercussions it cannot endure,” he declared.
Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the ceasefire, stating that a conversation between the DGMOs (Director Generals of Military Operations) from both nations occurred at 3:35 PM Saturday.
“Both parties have agreed to halt all hostilities — across land, air, and sea — commencing from 5:00 PM IST. Orders have been issued for immediate execution,” Misri said.
He reiterated that India remains devoted to peace and regional stability while maintaining zero tolerance for terrorism.
“Further discussions between Indian and Pakistani officials are scheduled for May 12 to deliberate on post-ceasefire protocols,” he added.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced on his official X handle, “After a lengthy night of discussions mediated by the United States, I am delighted to announce that India and Pakistan have consented to a complete and immediate ceasefire. Congratulations to both nations for exercising common sense and intelligence. Thank you for your attention in this matter.”
