The Indian Army should have continued to hit Pakistan for two more days and the government should not have agreed to a ceasefire, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor said, adding that it was a good opportunity for the country to push its advantage further.
He said Pakistan calling for a ceasefire means the Armed Forceswere on the right path. “I’m thinking, if Pakistan wanted a ceasefire, that means our army was doing a good job, we were defeating Pakistan,” he said.
“It must have been out of fear that Pakistan wanted a ceasefire. So if Pakistan wanted a ceasefire, why did we agree to it? The Army should have let it go on for two more days,” Kishor said during a press conference in East Champaran on Saturday, reported ANI.
The political strategist-turned-politician also praised External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and called him “very educated and sensible.”

“Regarding the issue of the ceasefire, our country’s EAM Jaishankar is a very educated and sensible person. I have great respect for him. I read his statement where he said the ceasefire was done at Pakistan’s initiative,” he was quoted as saying by ANI..
Kishor said the situation on the ground suggested that India’s military was in control.
“That’s exactly what our army personnel are saying, what the citizens of this country are saying, that during the fight, we had them on the back foot, sirens were going off, people were hiding, Pakistan was on the defensive, begging for a ceasefire,” he said,
He then referred to EAM Jaishankar’s comments in which he had said that the negotiations were made directly by the militaries of the two countries.
