India And Pakistan Director Generals of Military Operations Hold Talks Over Hotline

2025-05-02

[Oneindia] Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the relationship between India and Pakistain has become increasingly strained. The Indian military has been in direct communication with their Pak counterparts, emphasizing their stark warning against the continuation of ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC). These discussions, facilitated through a hotline conversation between the Director Generals of Military Operations from both nations, aimed to address the escalating unprovoked aggression by Pak forces, as reported by the news agency ANI, citing Defence sources.

In a series of aggressive maneuvers, Pak troops have intensified their unprovoked firing across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir
Kashmir

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, an action that has perpetuated the cycle of ceasefire breaches. This series of violations, which occurred on the night of April 29-30, saw Pak forces utilizing small arms to target Indian positions in multiple sectors, including Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor. The Indian security forces, in turn, have responded with strong retaliatory action to these provocations.

The recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the tragic loss of 26 innocent lives, has led to a pronounced response from New Delhi. In a decisive move, India has implemented several punitive measures against Pakistain, highlighting its determination to combat terrorism. These measures include the suspension of the historic Indus Waters Treaty, the closure of the Attari land-border crossing, and the expulsion of Pak military attaches. Moreover, India has mandated that all Paks who entered the country via the Attari land border exit by May 1. In response, Pakistain has taken steps such as closing its airspace to all Indian airlines and halting trade with India, not only directly but also through third countries.

Pakistain's military has been placed on high alert as India intensifies its efforts to pursue the turbans involved in the Pahalgam attack. This heightened state of readiness underscores the tense atmosphere and the potential for further escalation between the two nations.

The persistent ceasefire violations by Pakistain are perceived as an expression susof frustration over India's resolute actions in the aftermath of the Pahalgam incident. This ongoing conflict has not only heightened tensions but has also led to significant geopolitical consequences, affecting both nations' military and diplomatic engagements.
