‘Good friend in Washington nearing century but PM silent’: Congress as Trump repeats India-Pak claim
The Opposition party also lashed out at Modi for his speech in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, responding to the debate on the motion of thanks to the President’s speech, saying he was a prisoner of his own hatred and saying he had not responded to any of the serious questions posed by Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge in the Upper House.
Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary for communications, said: “The Prime Minister revealed again in the Rajya Sabha last evening what a pile of mistrust he is, what a perpetual purveyor of lies, what a storehouse of prejudices he is and what a source of sheer bile and poison he is. One thing is clear. He can continue to proclaim that he is a great man. But the more he does it, the more it becomes clear that he is not a good man and never will be.”
Ramesh said on
Meanwhile, his “close friend in Washington DC” is hurtling towards the century mark, saying he intervened to stop Op Sindoor on May 10, 2025, he said.
“Yet the Prime Minister remains completely silent on this issue, just as he did in his infamous clean speech to China on June 19, 2020, following the martyrdom of more than twenty jawans in Eastern Ladakh,” Ramesh said. he said.
These words of Trump came after Trump repeated twice in one day his claim that he had stopped the war between India and Pakistan last year. Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Trump said, “In one year, I ended eight violent wars: the war between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan.” he said.
In a later post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his claim that he had prevented a nuclear war from breaking out between India and Pakistan.
“The United States is the most powerful country in the world. During my First Term, I completely rebuilt its Military, including new and many refurbished nuclear weapons. I also added the Space Force, and now we continue to rebuild our Military to levels never seen before. We are even adding Battleships that are 100 times more powerful than the battleships that roamed the Seas during World War II, such as the Iowa, Missouri, Alabama, and others. I stopped Nuclear Wars from breaking out around the world between Pakistan and Russia. Trump, India, Iran, and Israel, and Russia and shared Ukraine.
The US President has claimed several times that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan. He has been making this claim repeatedly on various platforms in the US and around the world since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “complete and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington.
India has consistently denied any third party involvement.
