Ceasefire Controversy: Gandhi Challenges Trump's Claims and Modi's Silence

On Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the government, highlighting US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Trump has asserted this '25 times' and criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha expressed disbelief over Trump's alleged intervention, as Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called for Modi to respond firmly. Kharge stated that Trump's repeated statements insult India and pointed to a perceived weakness in the government's inaction.

Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, accused the Modi government of ignoring crucial discussion dates in Parliament on related defense operations. Meanwhile, Trump's assertions that he stopped a potential nuclear war received international attention, but India's stance remains firm that military de-escalation discussions were direct talks between military officials of India and Pakistan.
