‘Pakistan wanted a ceasefire, India kept it waiting’: Former CDS makes major Operation Sindoor revelation

Former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan has disclosed that India deliberately postponed responding to Pakistan’s request for a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor, choosing instead to continue military operations until key strategic objectives had been achieved. Speaking at ThePrint’s Off The Cuff event, General Chauhan said Pakistan reached out through the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) hotline on the morning of May 10, 2025, seeking an immediate ceasefire. However, India chose not to respond immediately because several planned military strikes were yet to be executed. According to the former CDS, New Delhi wanted to ensure that its military objectives were decisively met before considering any halt in hostilities.
