NEW ELHI — The Congress has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his continued silence even as the US President Donald Trump has reached the quarter century mark on his claims about bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his silence over US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims about brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Speakin to reporters at Parliament House, the Congress leader said that Trump has made the claim “25 times”, yet the Indian Prime Minister has remained silent, triggering serious questions about the government’s narrative.
“Trump has said 25 times that he got the ceasefire done. Who is Trump to get a ceasefire done? It’s not his job. But the Prime Minister has not given a reply even once. That is the truth, and he cannot hide from it,” Rahul reportedly said.
Trump once again claimed that he had prevented a major conflict between India and Pakistan, and said that five fighter jets were shot down during the escalation.
According to PTI, Trump also stated that the situation “was probably going to end up in a nuclear war.”
Speaking at a reception in the White House, Trump said, “We stopped wars between India and Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.”
Taking to X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, “As the Modi Government continues in its refusal to give firm dates for a debate on Pahalgam-Sindoor in Parliament and as the Modi government persists in its refusal to commit to a reply by the PM in the debate, President Trump reaches the silver jubilee, the quarter century mark on his claims.”
“He has trumpeted 25 times in the last 73 days but the Prime Minister of India is totally quiet – finding time only to travel abroad and to destabilise democratic institutions at home,” Ramesh said.
