Regarding ceasefire between India and Pakistan was first announced by United States of America, the Home Minister said, he came across a tweet from United States President Donald Trump who was first to declare ceasefire between India and Pakistan during a meeting with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah when discussion was going on for steps to be initiated to handle emergency situations arising out of India-Pakistan strikes at each other.
“Initially, it was hard to believe in the ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump and there was no clarification from the Defense Ministry. A half-an-hour later, the Defense spokesperson confirmed the ceasefire between India and Pakistan,” said the Home Minister and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain to the people of the country what led to the ceasefire with Pakistan since”It is a nation’s security issue.”
