June 20, 2025 — In a development that has gone viral across the subcontinent, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister has publicly admitted that Islamabad requested a ceasefire from India during the recent Operation Sindoor, a tactical military push by Indian forces along the Line of Control.
Speaking at a press briefing, the Deputy PM stated:
“We asked India for a ceasefire when our forward posts came under heavy pressure...”
The clip, now circulating widely on social media, has triggered sharp political reactions within Pakistan and been hailed in Indian media as tacit acknowledgment of Indian military dominance during the operation.
Background: Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor was launched earlier this month by the Indian Army in response to cross-border provocations. It resulted in the capture of key tactical positions and was widely seen as a strategic success for India.
While Islamabad had officially denied the scale of Indian operations, the Deputy PM’s unguarded remarks now contradict earlier statements by Pakistan's defense establishment.
Reactions Pour In
In India, political leaders and military analysts said the comment validates the success of the operation.
"This is a diplomatic and strategic victory for India. Pakistan’s own leadership has acknowledged the pressure we exerted," said a retired Indian Army general.
Pakistani opposition parties, meanwhile, have accused the government of weakness and lack of transparency, calling the Deputy PM’s admission "reckless" and "damaging to national security."
