India 'pauses' military action

INDIA has only “paused” its military action and will “retaliate on its own terms” if there is any future terrorist attack on the country, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said yesterday, in his first public comments since last weekend's United States-brokered ceasefire aimed at halting hostilities between India and Pakistan.

“We will be monitoring every step of Pakistan,” Mr Modi said in an address to the nation. He added that India will not “tolerate nuclear blackmailing” by Pakistan and that “this is not an era of war, but this is not an era of terrorism, either”
