India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has clarified that the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan was negotiated directly between the Deputy Chiefs of Army Staff (DGMOs) of the two countries, dismissing claims made by former US President Donald Trump that he brokered the ceasefire. Jaishankar emphasized that the ceasefire was a bilateral agreement and not mediated by the United States. Additionally, Indian fact-checking authorities have refuted misleading reports circulated by Pakistani social media accounts, which falsely claimed that India agreed to a ceasefire under threat from Pakistan or following a US warning to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These clarifications were made in the context of ongoing tensions related to Operation Sindoor and recent interactions between India, Pakistan, and the US.
