Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s ceasefire claim: Congress
The ongoing political drama between India and the United States has taken a new turn, with the Congress party questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence over US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This is not the first time Trump has made such a claim, and the Congress leader Pawan Khera is left wondering why PM Modi has not rejected it even once.
In a recent tweet, Pawan Khera wrote, “This is the 8th time President Trump has made this claim that he got Operation Sindoor stopped.” He further asked, “What does PM Modi’s silence mean?” This question has sparked a debate among political analysts and observers, who are trying to decipher the underlying reasons behind PM Modi’s silence.
For those who may not be aware, Operation Sindoor is a term used to describe the increased military activities and tensions between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kashmir region. The situation escalated in recent months, with both countries trading accusations of ceasefire violations and engaging in a series of military skirmishes.
President Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between the two nations is nothing new. In the past, he has made similar claims, only to be disputed by both Indian and Pakistani governments. However, despite these denials, Trump continues to make these claims, leaving many to wonder about his motivations.
One possible reason for PM Modi’s silence could be that he is trying to maintain a good relationship with the Trump administration. The US has been a key ally for India in recent years, and PM Modi has been keen to strengthen ties with the Trump administration. By not rejecting Trump’s claims, PM Modi may be trying to avoid any potential fallout or diplomatic tensions with the US.
Another possibility is that PM Modi is trying to downplay the issue and avoid giving any unnecessary attention to the matter. As the Indian Prime Minister, he has a lot on his plate, from dealing with economic issues to managing the country’s foreign policy. By not making a big deal out of Trump’s claims, PM Modi may be trying to focus on more pressing issues.
However, Pawan Khera’s question remains unanswered. Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s claims even once? Is it because he is trying to maintain a good relationship with the Trump administration, or is there something more to it?
The Congress party has been vocal about its criticism of PM Modi’s silence on the issue. In a statement, the party’s spokesperson said, “It is surprising that PM Modi has not rejected Trump’s claims despite repeated denials by the Indian government. This silence is not only embarrassing but also raises questions about PM Modi’s commitment to India’s foreign policy.”
The BJP, on the other hand, has defended PM Modi’s silence, saying that he is focusing on more important issues. A senior BJP leader said, “PM Modi is a visionary leader who is focused on India’s development and progress. He does not get bogged down by trivial issues like Trump’s claims.”
While the debate rages on, it is clear that PM Modi’s silence on Trump’s claims has raised many questions. Is he trying to maintain a good relationship with the Trump administration, or is there something more to it? Only time will tell.
