HC @VDoraiswami spoke to @SkyYaldaHakim on #OperationSindoor.

HC said the escalation was Pakistani terror group attacking civilians at #Pahalgam. India's response was precise, targeted, reasonable and moderate, focused on terror camps. By 'retaliating' against Indian military, Pakistan is showing that the terror groups are part of their deep state.

It is for Pakistan to decide whether it wants to take the offramp or to continue to up the ante. We will respond exactly as they do.

Delighted to speak with my friend PM @Keir_Starmer. In a historic milestone, India and the UK have successfully concluded an ambitious and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement, along with a Double Contribution Convention. These landmark agreements will further deepen our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and catalyse trade, investment, growth, job creation, and innovation in both our economies. I look forward to welcoming PM Starmer to India soon.
