Former CDS Gen Chauhan: India delayed Pakistan's ceasefire request during Op Sindoor
Former CDS General Anil Chauhan disclosed that Pakistan reached out via the Indian DGMO's hotline on the morning of May 10, 2025, to request a ceasefire amid Operation Sindoor. However, India intentionally stalled the response until that afternoon. This delay occurred because several planned Indian strikes had not yet been executed. According to the General, India remained focused on completing its military goals before agreeing to any halt in hostilities.
