India’s Multi-Layered Air Defence Grid Proves Battle-Ready
Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai highlighted that a decade of budgetary and policy support has enabled the creation of a robust, multi-layered air defence grid. He credited the Akash missile system for playing a decisive role during Pakistan’s attempted aerial retaliation on May 9 and 10.
“Our systems performed exceptionally. This was a battle-tested scenario, and our indigenous technologies proved effective,” he stated.
Hotline Talks Between Indian and Pakistani DGMOs
On Monday evening, a hotline conversation took place between India’s DGMO Lt Gen Ghai and Pakistan’s Maj Gen Kashif Abdullah. The two military leaders reportedly:
- Discussed measures to restore calm along the Line of Control (LoC)
- Reaffirmed their commitment to the 2021 ceasefire understanding
- Agreed on mutual restraint and continued monitoring
The dialogue followed Pakistan’s request on May 10 for India to halt further military actions, which New Delhi acknowledged after achieving its operational goals.
PM Modi Reiterates India’s Stance on Pakistan and PoK
In his first address since the cessation of hostilities, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear that:
- No dialogue will be held with Pakistan except on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK)
- The Kashmir conflict is inseparable from Pakistan’s terror networks
- India will not tolerate state-sponsored terrorism under any guise
“Pakistan’s protection of terror groups will only accelerate its own instability,” PM Modi warned.
Indus Waters Treaty & Strategic Pressure
There are reports that Pakistan attached conditions to the ceasefire, including a revival of the Indus Waters Treaty, which India suspended as a non-military pressure strategy. However, India has maintained a firm position that no talks will occur beyond terrorism and PoK.
