India on Tuesday issued a six-point rebuttal to recent statements by US President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration regarding the India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement announced over the weekend. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) firmly refuted multiple assertions made by the US leadership concerning the nature of the ceasefire, including suggestions of American mediation, threats of trade pressure, and the possibility of discussions over Kashmir.

Trump, through a post on Truth Social, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in official remarks, claimed that the ceasefire was brokered by the United States to avert a potential nuclear conflict between the two South Asian neighbours. Trump further suggested the US would increase trade with both countries.

India has unequivocally rejected these claims.

India has stepped up efforts to get 'The Resistance Front', the Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy behind the Pahalgam terror attack, designated as a terror group in the United Nations list. An Indian delegation today met top officials of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate in New York.

A former Pentagon official, Michael Rubin has said that India targeted terror infrastructure with precision, and it was able to blunt Pakistan's response following the recent strikes. He said that "Pakistan went running to try to achieve a ceasefire like a scared dog with its tail between its legs" after India put their airfields out of commission.

In an interview with ANI, Rubin who is currently a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute stated that the Pakistani military cannot shield itself from the full reality of the fact that it "lost very, very badly." He said India has emerged victorious both diplomatically and militarily and mentioned that all attention is now on Pakistan's terrorist sponsorship.

Pakistan has reportedly written a letter to India, urging it to reconsider the decision to put the Indus Waters Treaty into abeyance. Pakistan's Ministry of Water Resources has reportedly written a letter to New Delhi to resume the flow of rivers into its territory under the Indus Waters Treaty, reports have claimed.

The Indus Waters Treaty is a pivotal water-sharing accord that has endured for more than six decades. The plea comes after India halted the 1960 agreement in the wake of yet another Pakistan-backed terrorist attack, this time in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which left 26 civilians dead, mostly tourists.

India, invoking its national security prerogative, has placed the treaty in abeyance until Islamabad "credibly and irrevocably" ends its support for terrorism.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will reach Jammu and Kashmir shortly. This visit comes five days after India and Pakistan agreed upon a ceasefire.

The abrupt end to Operation Sindoor was a bolt from the blue - actually, like an 'out of syllabus' event. It is good that full-scale war was avoided, and one hopes ceasefire violations will die down. Even as the armed forces keep a wary eye on our borders, there are some takeaways that can be deduced as a hot debrief, writes Air Vice Marshal (Retd) Manmohan Bahadur of the Indian Air Force.
