Congress questions PM Modi's response to Trump's claim on Operation Sindoor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently addressed the issue of Operation Sindoor, stating that no global leader interfered in the operation. However, the Congress quickly launched an attack, questioning Modi's reluctance to confront US President Donald Trump. Congress MP KC Venugopal directly asked whether Trump's claim was valid and criticized Modi for avoiding the topic. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi also criticized Modi for not clearly refuting Trump's statements and failing to mention China's alleged support to Pakistan.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera added a poetic criticism, highlighting the need for Modi to address the situation more assertively. Gandhi demanded a clear rebuttal from Modi regarding Trump's claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He also criticized the government for allegedly informing Pakistan about the operation, calling it a sign of surrender.

During his address in the Lok Sabha, PM Modi emphasized that no global leader had asked India to halt Operation Sindoor and defended India's actions against terrorism. He dismissed questions about Trump's announcement of a ceasefire and highlighted India's strength in responding to threats from Pakistan. Modi accused Congress of echoing Pakistani propaganda and undermining India's efforts against terrorism.
