that's what I'm saying that both these things were announced simultaneously in the single statement. What I would have preferred is that they should have made a statement or a press release that there is an offer from pak to de escalate and we are considering it. If pakistan didn't refute that Then only after an hour or two they should have released a statement that after due consideration we are accepting pak's proposal of ceasefire or deescalation. That would have placed us in a position of power rather than pak who is now claiming it as THEIR win. We lost at the table again.
To be honest I don't think it's over even now. Pakistan will again break the ceasefire in a week or two.
About your point,yes India should have done that
Abhi to it seems like India was waiting for a moment ki tum phone karo and we will accept the ceasefire
