No 'nuclear signalling' by Pak in Op Sindoor-FS

No 'nuclear signalling' by Pak in Op Sindoor-FS

New Delhi, May 19 (UNI) The recent military conflict between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack was ‘’conventional’’ and there was no 'nuclear signalling' by Islamabad, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told the Parliament Standing Committee here on Monday.

Mr Misri also told the Standing Committee on External Affairs that US had no role in the cessation of the conflict and Pakistan had reached out to India on May 10 afternoon after the precision strikes by Indian Defence forces on Pakistani military installations including the Nur Khan air base.

Mr Misri who gave a detailed briefing to the Standing Committee on Operation Sindoor, said there was no 'third-party mediation, sources said.



The Foreign Secretary said the government had made it very clear that neither Mr Trump nor his administration played any significant role. The plea for a ceasefire came from Pakistan and India agreed to listen and cease hostilities because targets set under Operation Sindoor had been met when nine terrorist camps including five in POK, were destroyed.

Plea for a ceasefire came from Islamabad, specifically from Pakistan's Director-General of Military Operations who reached out to his Indian counterpart, Mr Misri told the Committee.



He, however, declined comment if any Indian fighter jet had been shot down by Pak, citing national security constraints.
