Why hasn’t PM Modi rejected Trump’s ceasefire claim: Congress
The ongoing diplomatic spat between India and the United States has taken a new turn, with US President Donald Trump once again taking credit for brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The claim has left many wondering why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not rejected Trump’s statement even once. Congress leader Pawan Khera has raised questions about PM Modi’s silence on the issue, asking what it means.
In a recent tweet, Khera pointed out that this is the eighth time President Trump has claimed responsibility for stopping Operation Sindoor, a military operation conducted by the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir. “This is the 8th time President Trump has made this claim that he got Operation Sindoor stopped,” Khera wrote on X. “What does PM Modi’s silence mean?”
Khera’s tweet came in response to Trump’s latest claim, made during a press conference at the White House. Trump stated that he had played a crucial role in bringing an end to the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. “We’ve had a tremendous relationship with India, and they’ve been very, very successful. And we’ve done a great job with Pakistan, and we’ve done a great job with India,” Trump said.
The remarks have sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the US President’s credibility and the Indian government’s response to his claims. The Congress leader has demanded an explanation from PM Modi on why he has not rejected Trump’s statement, even once.
The controversy surrounding Trump’s claim is not new. In the past, the US President has made similar claims, only to be contradicted by Indian officials. In 2019, Trump claimed that he had helped to broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following the Pulwama attack. However, the Indian government had denied the claim, stating that the ceasefire was a result of diplomatic efforts between India and Pakistan.
The latest controversy has raised questions about the nature of the relationship between India and the US. While the two countries have been strengthening their ties in recent years, the controversy suggests that there may be a lack of clarity on the role of the US in regional conflicts.
The Congress leader’s question about PM Modi’s silence on the issue is a valid one. If Trump’s claims are baseless, why has the Indian government not taken steps to correct the record? The silence of the Indian government on the issue has led to speculation about the nature of the relationship between the two countries.
Some have suggested that PM Modi may be trying to avoid a diplomatic row with the US, fearing that a public rejection of Trump’s claims could harm the relationship. Others have suggested that the Indian government may be trying to downplay the controversy, hoping that it will blow over.
However, the Congress leader’s question highlights the need for transparency and clarity in the relationship between India and the US. If Trump’s claims are baseless, it is essential that the Indian government takes steps to correct the record and set the record straight.
The controversy has also raised questions about the role of the US in regional conflicts. While the US has been a key player in the region, its claims of brokering ceasefires have been met with skepticism by many. The controversy highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the role of the US in regional conflicts.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Trump’s claim highlights the need for transparency and clarity in the relationship between India and the US. PM Modi’s silence on the issue has raised questions about the nature of the relationship between the two countries. The Congress leader’s question about PM Modi’s silence is a valid one, and it is essential that the Indian government takes steps to correct the record and set the record straight.
