Agartala, May 11: Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Sunday said that the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan is acceptable as such developments happen depending on circumstances, but emphasized that the fight against terrorism will continue.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a blood donation camp organized at the Art of Living office in Agartala on the occasion of Mother’s Day, ahead of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s 69th birthday celebrations, Dr. Saha said, “It is okay. Ceasefires happen everywhere, depending on the situation. Internationally, India has to decide it.”
