No Nuclear Signalling From Pakistan, Foreign Secretary Tells Parliament Panel, Say Reports

New Delhi: Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Monday briefed the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs that Pakistan did not engage in any nuclear signaling during the recent military conflict with India. 

Addressing concerns over potential escalation, Misri said that the entire conflict remained within the conventional domain, dismissing speculation about nuclear threats.   

Ceasefire Agreement Was Bilateral, Not Mediated by the US

Additionally, Misri clarified that the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan was reached bilaterally, with no involvement from the United States, countering claims made by US President Donald Trump, who had suggested that Washington played a role in brokering peace.

Pakistan’s Use of Chinese-Made Weapons

The briefing also covered Pakistan’s use of Chinese-made weapon platforms, which Misri stated did not impact India, and how forces effectively targeted Pakistani air bases in response to escalatory actions.

The meeting, was attended by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee, Congress’s Rajeev Shukla and Deepender Hooda, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, and BJP’s Aparajita Sarangi and Arun Govil. The discussion also touched upon Turkey’s adversarial stance against India, with Misri noting that Turkey has traditionally not been supportive of India’s interests.
