The Hindu
Congress questions PM Modi's silence as Trump claims ceasefire between India and Pakistan 13 times publicly.
The Congress on Saturday cited that on 13 occasions, U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly "trumpeted" that he brought about a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, and asked when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi speak up on these claims.
"Today President Trump turns 79. In the 34 days between May 10, 2025, and June 13, 2025, he trumpeted publicly on 13 different occasions in 3 different countries that he had brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade with America as a carrot and stick,” Congress general secretary in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh, said on X.
“He (Trump), of course, showered praise on both countries in equal measure,” Mr. Ramesh said.
"@narendramodi when will you speak up," the Congress leader asked in the post.
Mr. Ramesh also shared on X a list and details of the occasions when Trump made the claims, with the quotes of the US president and links to media reports.
With Trump repeating his claim that he "stopped a war between India and Pakistan", Mr. Ramesh on Friday said the U.S. President continues to make his claims for the "nth time" but Prime Minister Modi continues to be silent on them.
Mr. Ramesh also shared a video clip of Trump's remarks on X, in which he repeated his claim that he "stopped a war between India and Pakistan" and stopped it "with trade".
