lndia called for an immediate de-escalation, urging all parties to exercise restraint, refrain from violence, and return to diplomatic negotiations, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a press release.

We call for immediate de-escalation, exercise of restraint, stepping back from violence and return to the path of diplomacy.”
