‘May peace endure’: TN CM MK Stalin Welcomes India-Pak Understanding

Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday welcomed the understanding between India and Pakistan and said that peace may endure. “Tamil Nadu marched in solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces. The ceasefire is a welcome step — may peace endure. Our heartfelt salute to the courage of those who guard our borders,” MK Stalin posted on X. The minister’s remarks came after DGMOs of India and Pakistan agreed that both sides would stop all firing and military action. In a crucial step toward de-escalation, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart earlier this week. The two sides agreed to halt all military actions—on land, at sea, and in the air—effective from 1700 hours IST. Misri noted that instructions have been issued to enforce the ceasefire, with another round of DGMO-level talks scheduled for May 12 at noon. Addressing the press briefing on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, “Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called Indian DGMO at 15:35 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time.” (IANS)
