We reasonably took the position as key goals achieved: Dr S Jaishankar on cessation of military action between India, Pakistan

The Union Minister of Ministry of External Affairs, Dr S Jaishankar, on Thursday while commenting on cessation of firing and military action between India and Pakistan said that the goals to destroy the terrorist infrastructure were achieved.

"We achieved the goals which we set out to do by destroying the terrorist infrastructure. Since key goals were achieved, I think we reasonably took the position, because even at the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan saying we are striking at terrorist infrastructure, we are not striking at the military and the military has an option of standing out and not interfering in this process," said Jaishankar.

"They chose not to take that good advice. Once they got badly hit on the morning of May 10. Today, the satellite pictures which actually bring out graphically how much damage we did and how little damage they did..." added Jaishankar.
