May 12 reported by the Reference News website, according to a report on Bloomberg News Service website on May 12, after half a century of the most intense four days of clashes between India and Pakistan and some nuclear threats, US President Trump announced on the 10th that the two countries have agreed to "a full and immediate ceasefire".
However, in New Delhi, the capital of India, many high-ranking Indian officials were furious. According to insiders, the post made by the US President on "Truth Social" took important officials by surprise.
What truly upset them was not just America's efforts to ease tensions. Despite drones and missiles attacking each other's military bases, triggering the fiercest fighting since the 1971 war, behind-the-scenes negotiations between India and Pakistan have been ongoing.
What infuriated them more was that Trump stole the spotlight from Indian Prime Minister Modi, undermining India's long-standing policy of resolving the Kashmir territorial dispute through bilateral talks. Perhaps the worst part was that he placed these two mortal enemies on equal footing, which was unacceptable to officials in New Delhi, as India's economic power surpasses that of Pakistan.
Reports said that many Indians are also angry with the US, seeing this outcome as a loss, putting pressure on Modi to strongly retaliate against attacks on civilians or cross-border provocations in the future.
The ceasefire announcement was warmly welcomed in Pakistan.
Reportedly, although both Trump and Pakistani leader Shehbaz Sharif publicly welcomed the ceasefire, Modi remained silent. On the evening of the 10th, Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Katyal introduced the ceasefire situation to reporters in New Delhi but did not mention any role played by the US. Insiders said Indian officials were also dissatisfied with Rubio openly stating that representatives from the two countries would meet at a neutral location. (Translated by Wang Diqing)
