‘The last three days…’: Venkatesh Prasad reacts on Pakistan’s ceasefire violation | Cricket News – The Times of India

Former India cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has made a scathing attack on Pakistan for “violating” the ceasefire agreement just hours after agreeing to end the military confrontation. The violation came despite a formal ceasefire agreement being jointly announced earlier in the day by both nations. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that the Directors-General of Military Operations (DGMOs) from both sides had agreed to cease all hostilities — whether by land, air, or sea — with immediate effect.External Affairs Minister Dr S.Jaishankar also confirmed the ceasefire. “India and Pakistan have worked out an understanding on the stoppage of firing and military action,” he said. “India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations — and it will continue to do so.”

However, in a stunning turnaround, explosions rocked Srinagar by the evening, prompting a red alert and widespread blackouts across Jammu & Kashmir. Simultaneously, Indian Air Defence forces intercepted and shot down Pakistani drones in Rajasthan’s Pokhran and Kashmir’s Baramulla, further escalating tensions.Who’s that IPL player?Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Prasad called out Pakistan’s instability. He said: “That country has three power centers- The Army, The ISI and the Prime Minister. It’s virtually impossible for all 3 to agree on a thing even if one of them does.”He further added that the last three days of the hostile tension were not enough and India should teach Pakistan a lesson. “The last three days weren’t enough, with this provocation, India will teach Pakistan a lesson of a lifetime.” Tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply escalated following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists. In response to this brutal attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting and striking nine terrorist bases deep inside Pakistan.
