  • Pakistan's lobbying firm, Squire Patton Boggs, conveyed fears that PM Modi's statements indicated a suspended, not concluded, operation.
  • The filings expose Pakistan's false claim that India sought a ceasefire; it was Pakistani commanders who pushed for de-escalation.
  • Pakistan sought US President Donald Trump's intervention, a claim India consistently rejected as Trump asserted US mediation.
