Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s ceasefire claim: Congress
The ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan have once again taken a dramatic turn, with US President Donald Trump making a claim that he brokered a ceasefire between the two countries. This is not the first time Trump has made such a claim, and yet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has remained eerily silent about it. Congress leader Pawan Khera has taken to social media to express his discontent, questioning PM Modi’s silence and asking why he hasn’t rejected Trump’s claim even once.
In a recent 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? Has he given up on India’s sovereignty and the country’s strategic interests?” The tweet has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many questioning PM Modi’s silence and others defending his decision.
For those who may not be aware, Operation Sindoor was a military operation launched by India in 2019, in response to a terrorist attack on Indian soldiers in Kashmir. The operation aimed to neutralize terrorist groups operating in the region and to restore peace and stability to the region.
Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan is not new. In 2019, he made a similar claim, stating that he had spoken to PM Modi and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, and that they had agreed to a ceasefire. However, the claim was met with skepticism by many, as there was no evidence to support it.
Since then, Trump has made similar claims several times, but PM Modi has remained silent. Khera’s question, therefore, is valid. Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s claim even once? Has he given up on India’s sovereignty and the country’s strategic interests?
There are several reasons why PM Modi’s silence is suspicious. Firstly, India has consistently maintained that it is not interested in negotiating a ceasefire with Pakistan, as it believes that the country is not serious about stopping cross-border terrorism. Therefore, PM Modi’s silence suggests that he may be willing to compromise on India’s strategic interests.
Secondly, PM Modi’s silence may be seen as a sign of deference to Trump, who has been known to make bold claims and expect others to follow suit. By not rejecting Trump’s claim, PM Modi may be sending a signal that he is willing to work with the US President, even if it means compromising on India’s sovereignty.
Thirdly, PM Modi’s silence may be seen as a sign of confusion and lack of clarity on India’s policy towards Pakistan. If PM Modi were to reject Trump’s claim, it would send a clear signal that India is not interested in negotiating with Pakistan. However, by remaining silent, PM Modi may be sending a mixed signal, which could confuse the international community and undermine India’s position.
In conclusion, PM Modi’s silence over Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan is suspicious and raises several questions. Has PM Modi given up on India’s sovereignty and the country’s strategic interests? Is he willing to compromise with Pakistan and the US? Or is he simply confused and unclear about India’s policy towards Pakistan?
The answer to these questions can only be known by PM Modi himself, but one thing is clear – his silence is not going to go unnoticed. The international community, and the people of India, are watching, and they expect PM Modi to clarify his position and protect India’s interests.
