In a recent interview, Congress MP Manish Tewari addressed the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, emphasizing that labeling it a "ceasefire" is misleading, as there was no formal declaration of war. He stated that India's military actions were a response to Pakistan's support for terrorism, not an act of war. Tewari also critiqued U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of mediating the ceasefire, asserting that the Kashmir conflict began 78 years ago, not a millennium ago as implied by Trump.

00:00When tensions ratchet up between two de facto nuclear weapon states, the rest of the world
00:07is not going to stand by and watch.
00:10The other countries of the world will obviously be talking to both the countries when you
00:15are not talking to each other.
00:16The message has gone to Pakistan that if it continues to use terror as an instrument of
00:22state policy, there would be punitive consequences.
00:27They cannot use the nuclear blackmail in order to continue with state-sponsored terror.
00:35The statement which has come from the President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald
00:43Trump, is whether you like it or not a factual statement.
00:48If you look at the India-Pakistan paradigm in a perspective, from 1947 till 1972, whenever
00:58tensions went up between India and Pakistan, and they were primarily over the state of
01:04Jammu and Kashmir, it is the United Nations Security Council resolutions which were the
01:09template for whatever interlocution took place between the two countries.
01:17After 1972 till 1990, it was the similar agreement which injected bilateralism into the relationship.
01:28But when Pakistan started waving the nuclear word, 1990 onwards, and the then Deputy National
01:38Security Advisor, Robert Gates came to India on the 19th of May, 1990.
01:45Even onwards, whenever there has been a flashpoint in the India-Pakistan equation, there has been
01:54intervention by foreign powers led by the United States of America.
02:01It happened in 2001 at the height of Operation Parakram.
02:07It happened subsequently when tensions went up between India and Pakistan, post the 26-11 terror attack.
02:15It happened again after the Uri surgical strike in 2019.
02:22After the Pulwama-Balakot dynamic, President Trump publicly took ownership from Hanoi of the
02:30fact that he had ratcheted tensions down between India and Pakistan.
02:35And on 10th of May, 2025, his social media post and the subsequent statement by Secretary of
02:45State, Marco Rubio, again testifies and underscores to the fact that there has been back-channeling,
02:53brokering, arbitration, third-party mediation, whatever you may like to call it.
03:00You see, the bottom line ultimately is that when tensions ratchet up between two de facto nuclear
03:08weapon states, the rest of the world is not going to stand by and watch when you have missiles flying
03:15from there to here and everywhere. So, therefore, the other countries of the world will obviously
03:24be talking to both the countries when you are not talking to each other.
03:36India, India and Pakistan, India and India.
03:45Well, one thing is very evident that a message has gone to Pakistan that if it continues to
03:54use terror as an instrument of state policy, there would be punitive consequences. And those
04:00Those punitive consequences in the aftermath of the Pahalgam massacre were executed by
04:08the Indian Armed Forces between the 7th and the 10th of March, 19-2025.
04:18Therefore under those circumstances, I think the Pakistani leadership would have realized
04:25that it cannot be business as usual.
04:28They cannot use the nuclear blackmail in order to continue with state-sponsored terror.
04:36And I do hope that the Pakistani leadership, both the civilian leadership and more importantly
04:43the military leadership and even most importantly the Pakistani deep state which has spawned
04:49these semi-state actors would get the message very, very clearly.
04:58Stay here and never miss an update.
