The Statesman Siliguri
|May 20, 2025
The Foreign Secy appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs
The US had no role to play in clinching a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and that the plea had come from Pakistan's Director-General of Military Operations to his counterpart in Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told a parliamentary panel on Monday on cross-border security challenges post Operation Sindoor, sources said.
The Foreign Secretary appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, headed by Congress Lok Sabha member Shashi Tharoor, to provide a comprehensive briefing on the Operation Sindoor and recent tensions between India and Pakistan.
He clarified that Pakistan had reached out to India for a ceasefire after the precision strikes by the Indian armed forces hit Pak military installations, including a China-made missile defence system in Lahore and the strategically important Nur Khan air base.

My friend and legendary movie critic, the late Derek Malcolm, always felt that Pather Panchali was brilliant.
