India Pakistan news LIVE: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his surprise visit to Punjab’s Adampur airbase on Tuesday, defined India’s show of strength and said that New Delhi had made its red line against terrorism crystal clear.

The prime minister’s visit stood out further as a Russian-origin S-400 missile launcher was seen in the background while he hailed the Indian armed forces for scripting history.
Adampur, one of Indian Air Force’s premier bases, is among those that Pakistan falsely claimed to have attacked and destroyed the S-400 there. India, however, debunked Islamabad’s claims and said that there was only limited damage to equipment and personnel at the Adampur IAF station.
Ceasefire between India and Pakistan continued to remain intact as Jammu and Kashmir, and border towns began moving back into their usual routine. However, some residents of J&K’s border areas are still afraid to return home, with locals saying it is difficult for them to “trust Pakistan” and that they cannot go back home until there’s an absolute certainty that they will be safe.
India expels Pak high commission staffer
Meanwhile, in another major move, India on Tuesday expelled the Pakistan high commission staffer in the national capital for his alleged links with two people from Punjab, who were arrested this week on charges of involvement in espionage.
A statement from the ministry of external affairs said the Centre declared the staffer “persona non grata for indulging in activities not in keeping with his official status in India”.
India Pakistan ceasefire | Key points
- Schools in all border districts in Punjab are reopening on Wednesday, May 14, as situation remains calm amid ceasefire with Pakistan. Schools in Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Pathankot, Fazilka, Ferozepur will open today, while those in Gurdaspur reopened on Tuesday itself.
- Majority of the schools and colleges in Kashmir reopened on Tuesday, except for those in the border districts. Officials said that educational institutes in Kupwara, Baramulla and in Bandipora’s Gurez sector will remain closed for now. Meanwhile, Kashmir University is also set to resume classes on Wednesday.
- Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah visited Pakistani shelling-affected area in Kupwara on Tuesday and affirmed that his government will provide compensation to those affected. He pressed that the ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbours must hold as people want peace.
- India on Tuesday rebutted US President Donald Trump’s claims of mediating ceasefire, with MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stating that New Delhi’s long-standing stance has been that any J&K-related issues “have to be address by India and Pakistan bilaterally”. He added, “That stated policy has not changed. As you are aware, the outstanding matter is the vacation of illegally occupied Indian territory by Pakistan.”
- US President Donald Trump on Tuesday again reiterated his claim of America having brokered the India-Pakistan ceasefire. During his Saudi Arabia trip, he used the New Delhi-Islamabad truce as an example to back his wish of wanting to remain a ‘peacemaker’, claiming that his administration asked both nations to trade goods, instead of nuclear missiles.
