Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s ceasefire claim: Congress
In a recent development, US President Donald Trump has once again claimed credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, stating that he had brokered the cessation of hostilities. This claim has been met with skepticism and criticism from various quarters, including the Indian opposition party, the Congress. Congress leader Pawan Khera has taken to social media to express his concerns, questioning why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not rejected Trump’s claim even once.
This is not the first time that Trump has made such a claim. In fact, this is the eighth time that he has attributed the success of Operation Sindoor, a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, to his own efforts. Khera pointed out that despite Trump’s repeated claims, PM Modi has remained silent on the matter, failing to correct the US President’s assertions.
In a tweet, Khera wrote, “This is the 8th time President Trump has made this claim that he got Operation Sindoor stopped. What does PM Modi’s silence mean?” He also asked, “Is it because PM Modi is too busy tweeting about his ‘Make in India’ campaign to bother about international diplomacy?”
Khera’s remarks have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many questioning the implications of PM Modi’s silence. Some have argued that PM Modi’s failure to reject Trump’s claim could be seen as a tacit endorsement of the US President’s assertions, which may undermine India’s diplomatic efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue bilaterally with Pakistan.
Others have pointed out that PM Modi’s silence may be a strategic move, aimed at maintaining good relations with the US and avoiding any unnecessary controversy. However, Khera’s criticism has raised important questions about the importance of truth and accuracy in international diplomacy.
The Congress leader’s remarks have also sparked a debate about the role of third-party mediators in resolving international conflicts. While some have argued that Trump’s intervention may have helped to ease tensions between India and Pakistan, others have pointed out that the US President’s claims may be exaggerated or even misleading.
In his tweet, Khera also referred to the recent meeting between PM Modi and Trump at the G7 summit, where the two leaders discussed the Kashmir issue. Khera asked, “Was this meeting just a photo opportunity or was something concrete discussed?” He also pointed out that despite the meeting, India and Pakistan have yet to see any significant progress in resolving the Kashmir issue.
The Congress leader’s criticism has also been seen as an attack on PM Modi’s diplomacy on the international stage. Some have argued that PM Modi’s failure to reject Trump’s claim reflects a lack of confidence in his own diplomatic abilities, while others have pointed out that PM Modi’s silence may be a sign of his commitment to maintaining good relations with the US.
In conclusion, Pawan Khera’s criticism of PM Modi’s silence on Trump’s ceasefire claim has raised important questions about the importance of truth and accuracy in international diplomacy. While PM Modi’s silence may be seen as a strategic move, it also raises concerns about the credibility of India’s diplomatic efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue bilaterally with Pakistan.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: PM Modi’s silence on Trump’s claim is not going unnoticed, and it is up to the Prime Minister to clarify the situation and restore the credibility of India’s diplomatic efforts.
