Prime Minister Modi was addressing Indian army and air force personnel where he said Pakistan not longer possessed the strength for a conventional war, and relied on proxy war. He also expressed his government's commitment towards the development of Ladakh region. Neither the foreign ministry nor the military of Pakistan reacted at the time to the comment on proxy war. Modi said his government means to achieve Indian defense manufacturing self-reliance.

    After his election victory in May, Modi invited Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony, surprising various international observers and commentators. However, since this meet between the two heads of the state more than 20 ceasefire violations have occurred across the borders; India and Pakistan reached an agreement in 2003 on ceasefire at the line of control between Pakistan-controlled and India-controlled Jammu and Kashmir.
    Pakistan blames Indian troops for committing human rights abuses against followers of Islam in Jammu and Kashmir, whom it claims to support only politically. India rejects the accusation, and calls for Pakistan to prosecute militants  there for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed over 150 people.

    在印度总理伦德拉.莫迪第二次访问印度喜马拉雅查谟和克什米尔时，在一个水电站项目的落成典礼上指责邻国巴基斯坦对印度发动了一场代理人战争。

    莫迪总理在向印度陆军和空军人员做演讲时说，巴基斯坦不再拥有常规战争的力量并且不会再依靠代理人战争。他还表达了他的政府会向拉克达地区发展的承诺。这既不是外交部也不是巴基斯坦军方当时对代理人战争评论的反应。莫迪说他的政府意味着实现印度国防制造业的自力更生。

在五月选举胜利后，莫迪邀请了巴基斯坦总理那瓦兹.谢里夫出席他的就职仪式，并且惊现了各个领域享誉国际的观察员和评论员。然而，自从这次两个国家的领导人在违反20多项停火协议发生的边界会晤之后，印度和巴基斯坦2003年在巴基斯坦和印度分别控制的查谟和克什米尔地区分界线的问题上达成了停火协议。
