BlockBeats News: On May 12th, US President Trump announced over the weekend that India and Pakistan have reached a "comprehensive and immediate ceasefire agreement". But in the Indian capital New Delhi, many senior officials are extremely angry about this.
According to insiders, Trump's post caught key officials in India off guard. What really angered them was not only the efforts made by the United States to ease the situation, but also Trump's actions that stole the limelight from Indian Prime Minister Modi, undermined India's long-standing policy of resolving the Kashmir territorial dispute through bilateral negotiations, and worst of all, Trump placed these archenemies on an equal footing, which officials in New Delhi have been resisting because India's economic development has surpassed Pakistan's.
Although financial markets may cheer for any ceasefire agreement, the sustainability of the ceasefire remains uncertain: just a few hours after Trump announced the ceasefire, both sides reported drone attacks along the Line of Actual Control in Kashmir, but the ceasefire appeared to be ongoing as of Sunday. India also refuses to restore a water resources treaty that has been crucial to Pakistan's economy for decades. Moreover, the ceasefire itself may lay the groundwork for more intense battles in the future. (Golden Ten)
