‘Do you think this could be a breakdown of the ceasefire?’ Pakistan’s envoy to United Kingdom, Mohammad Faisal, was confronted soon after Pakistan violated ceasefire, its Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif welcomed. Pakistan drones were spotted in Indian airspace soon late in the evening.

Soon after Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs took strong note of the situation and announed, “the armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations, and we take very, very serious notice of these violations.

In an interview with the Sky News Mohammad Faisal played down the violations, ‘as long as it is on the line of control from my experience, it is generally manageable, line of control heats up, cools down, it is not international border. Anything across the international border, which Indians tried to do in the last three days to us, that has serious implications.”

Giving credit to the United States for brokering peace he said, “I am hopeful that the ceasefire brokered by the Americans and you heard Sir Keir Starmer about it. The Saudis are part of it. Our friends, China and Turks have been supportive of it. I hope it holds.”

To which the SKY news anchor asked, “your reaction to what the Prime Minister said, he said we need an enduring and lasting ceasefire, but we all know, don’t we, that this conflict has been going on for decades. Is that an empty hope, do you think?”

He claimed, “there is a hope you can do that in the international community if it fulfills the obligation that it has made to the Kashmiri people and the Security Council and repeatedly made through Security Council resolutions.”

“So the only solution is the just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute as per the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”

To a question on whether Pakistan is prepared to withdraw its military capability from the region, he said, “Pakistan is willing and we have said that repeatedly that we have no problem. The problem actually is not troops. The problem is that there is no will on the Indian side to ask the people of Jammu and Kashmir what they want. Pakistan is ready to stand with whatever the people want, whatever they choose Pakistan is okay with it.”
