|May 11, 2025
AFTER INDIA AND Pakistan agreed to halt all military actions on land, at sea, and in the air, locals in Rajasthan's bordering district Jaisalmer celebrated the development and chanted slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.
While celebrating this development, people appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision for the understanding between India and Pakistan.
Speaking to ANI, a local said that this is the result of PM Modi's diplomacy. He said, "Pakistan was scared... This is the result of PM Modi and his diplomacy. Pakistan will always remember the damage it has borne. Due to the grace of Mata Tanaut, no one was harmed. We would like to thank PM Modi for this ceasefire." Chandra Prakash, who also hails from Jaisalmer, said that they want peace to prevail in both nations.
