PM Narendra Modi's 9 point plan on NewsX
- 5 years ago
Hours after India warned Pakistan of an “effective and appropriate” response to ceasefire violations along the border, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hinted at an early resolution, saying “everything will be fine soon”.
The Prime Minister’s remark was in response to a reporter’s query during an at-home gathering at the official residence of Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha on the 82nd Air Force Day. Modi was seen speaking to Army Chief General Dalbir Singh.
Earlier in the day, Raha told reporters that the border “matter is serious” but the government and security forces were doing their best to return the situation to normal.
“India wants good relations with its neighbours… a number of steps are being taken… We are all concerned. Efforts are being made to bring this to an end,” Raha said.
Top government sources ruled out any talks till Pakistan stopped its attacks. “It was the Pakistani side which started the ceasefire violation. There will be no talks till the shelling stops,” a senior official said. “Pakistan should stop (firing). We did not escalate the situation and we are not going to give in to coercive diplomacy.”
Addressing election rallies in Karnal, Faridabad and Kaithal in Haryana, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured people living in the border villages of Jammu and Kashmir that they would soon return to their homes since the Pakistani “misadventure” was being responded to adequately.
