Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 11 (ANI): BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Sunday said that the Indian armed forces gave a befitting reply to the terrorists who were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack.

Speaking to ANI, Pal remarked, 'A ceasefire between India and Pakistan was agreed upon. Still, they violated the ceasefire after that. Our government and the armed forces gave them a warning and a reply. It was clearly said... any future act of terror will be considered an act of war. After 11.30 pm last night, there was a ceasefire at the India-Pakistan border. The situation is normal...But after the agreement, Pakistan broke the ceasefire.'

He also mentioned the Pahalgam attack, where 26 innocent people were killed by terrorists.

'When terrorists killed 26 innocent people in Pahalgam, the PM had said that we will not only raze the terrorists to the ground but we will also punish their leaders in a way that they would not have imagined. That is what India intended, and Indian armed forces fulfilled that with their valour,' Pal added.

The BJP leader further mentioned terror camps which were destroyed during Operation Sindoor and added that Indian forces did not harm any Pakistani civilians during the action.

'Pakistan's nine terrorist camps were demolished in precision attacks. Indian armed forces never targeted any Pakistani civilians in this action. They (referring to Pakistan) violated the ceasefire at the LoC for 14 consecutive days. They targeted our civilian areas and Gurdwaras. Our action was nothing like theirs. Our aim was to neutralise and erase those terrorists...,' Pal remarked.

On Saturday, India and Pakistan worked out an understanding of the stoppage of firing and military action.

However, hours after both countries agreed to stop all firing and military action on land, in the air, and sea, reports came of Pakistan violating the cessation of hostilities with India's air defence intercepting Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Srinagar.

Red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones. Loud explosions were heard in Srinagar.

A complete blackout has been enforced in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab and Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan. (ANI)
