US President Donald Trump continues to make headlines with his assertions of brokering peace between India and Pakistan, a claim he's repeated multiple times, suggesting an averting of nuclear confrontation. However, the Indian government holds that the ceasefire arose from direct military negotiations.

Trump's latest remarks included allegations of five planes being shot down during the conflict, a statement that raises eyebrows within international circles. Meanwhile, the Congress party criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reticence on the matter, accusing him of focusing on foreign trips and disrupting democratic institutions.

The difference in narratives has sparked debates about the accuracy of Trump's claims and the real source of the ceasefire, with India maintaining its position on having resolved the conflict through its own diplomatic channels. The controversy continues to unfold, highlighting the complexities of international conflict resolution.
