Diplomatic Dynamics: Operation Sindoor and the US' Role Questioned

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for not clarifying US involvement in the Operation Sindoor ceasefire between India and Pakistan. She insisted that Jaishankar's statements lacked specificity regarding the United States' role in the matter.

Jaishankar argued in the Lok Sabha that India had no trade linkages with Operation Sindoor discussions involving the US. He stressed the pause in military action stemmed from Pakistani requests via channels like the DGMO, denying any US mediation.

Despite President Trump's repeated claims of brokering peace, India has consistently highlighted direct talks between Indian and Pakistani militaries as the sole resolution factor. Jaishankar's assertions follow a firm stance by Prime Minister Modi against third-party mediation.
