CPI on the India-Pakistan Ceasefire Agreement

The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued today (May 11, 2025) the following statement: 

The Communist Party of India welcomes the recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan as a positive and necessary step towards preventing a full-scale war and safeguarding peace in the region. This development offers much-needed relief to the people living along the Line of Control, who have long borne the brunt of cross-border hostilities. 

While CPI supports any initiative that halts bloodshed and opens avenues for peace, we express serious concern over the reported involvement of the United States in facilitating this ceasefire. The willingness of both Indian and Pakistani governments to allow an external imperialist power—especially the United States, a nation historically responsible for igniting global conflicts, to mediate what should have been a bilateral issue is deeply troubling. 

There existed ample opportunity and political space for India and Pakistan to resolve their differences through direct dialogue. By agreeing to the United States initiative in this process, Indian government has effectively violated the essence of Simla agreement and providing a scope to internationalize the Kashmir issue. This opens the door for the U.S. to play its typical hegemonic and destabilizing role in South Asia, further entrenching itself in the subcontinent’s internal matters. 

CPI calls upon both India and Pakistan to commit sincerely to the ceasefire in letter and spirit. At the same time, we urge the leaderships of both countries to safeguard regional autonomy by rejecting imperialist interference and resuming a bilateral political process based on mutual trust, respect and people’s aspirations. 

CPI demands the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain to the people what was the mediation by US and also how US President announced ceasefire before our government. Further CPI demands a comprehensive and transparent discussions by convening a special session of the Parliament as soon as possible.
