India's Ceasefire Terms for Pakistan: A Focus on Peace and No Compromise on Terrorism


New Delhi (May 10, 2025) - While India has agreed to a ceasefire with Pakistan, bringing a halt to the day's dangerous military escalations, it is revealed that this agreement was secured only after India laid down specific and non-negotiable terms. These conditions, conveyed at the highest levels of government, underscore India's commitment to a lasting peace that is predicated on verifiable action and a complete cessation of cross-border terrorism.

Following Pakistan's initiative to establish contact and seek a ceasefire, India, under the firm directive of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to NSA Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, outlined its prerequisites for ending hostilities. These terms, emphasize India's strategic leverage and its unwavering stance against terrorism.

Key Conditions for the Ceasefire:
  • Immediate and Verifiable Cessation of All Military Action: India demanded and secured an immediate end to all firing and military activities by Pakistan across land, air, and sea. This cessation must be demonstrable and verifiable through continued monitoring.
  • No Compromise on India's Counter-Terrorism Policy: A central tenet of India's terms is the explicit understanding that this ceasefire does not, in any way, imply a dilution of India's firm policy against terrorism. India retains the right to respond decisively to any future terror attacks originating from Pakistani territory or with Pakistani support.
  • Preservation of India's Strategic Position: The ceasefire agreement reportedly does not require India to reverse any of the strategic advantages gained during its retaliatory strikes. India maintains its right to defend its territory and interests effectively.
  • Future Dialogue Conditional on Sustained Peace: While agreeing to the current ceasefire, India has conveyed that any future resumption of dialogue with Pakistan will be contingent upon the sustained implementation of this truce and verifiable steps taken by Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure and prevent cross-border attacks.
  • Bilateral Agreement Without Third-Party Mediation: India insisted on and achieved a bilateral agreement, emphasizing that the terms were negotiated directly between the DGMOs of both countries, without any external mediation influencing India's core demands.
