NEW DELHI: Following the agreement between India and Pakistan on a full and immediate ceasefire — effectively ending three days of intense cross-border firing — former India spinner Harbhajan Singh welcomed the move. Harbhajan, who represented India in 103 Tests, 236 ODIs, and 28 T20Is, shared his thoughts in a message posted on X (formerly Twitter).“War has never ever been good for humanity,” Harbhajan said.“India is a peace loving country and has never been the aggressor. But as nation, we would never ever take enemy’s aggression lying down. Our biggest endeavour is to end terrorism on our soil. Salute to our defence forces for ensuring that every citizen feels safe,” he added.“A big shout out to our political leadership for showing diplomatic prudence which is the need of the hour. On the battlefield or off it, India is winner all the way. #JaiHind #JaiBharat,” Harbhajan concluded.The ceasefire agreement was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday, who claimed the breakthrough came after American mediation.“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.The announcement came just hours after both countries’ militaries had carried out strikes on each other’s installations, escalating the already tense situation.
