‘Daal Mein Kuch Kala Hai’: Rahul As Trump Repeats India-Pak Ceasefire Claim ’25 Times’

Delhi: Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, questioned the government on Wednesday over US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.Rahul said there was something fishy about it as the American leader has made the statement “25 times”. He asked who Trump was to get a ceasefire done and said Prime Minister Modi has not given a reply even once.Rahul’s reaction also came against the backdrop of Trump’s latest statement in which he again claimed that he stopped the recent “war” between India and Pakistan and that five planes were shot down in the conflict. He also claimed that the conflict between India and Pakistan “was probably going to end up in a nuclear war”.Asked about Trump’s claim and if the PM should make a statement as being demanded by the opposition, Rahul said, “How can the prime minister make a statement. What will he say– Trump got it done, he can’t say that. But that is the truth. Trump got the ceasefire done, the whole world knows. That is the reality.””This is not just about ceasefire there are big problems that we want to discuss. There are problems related to defence, defence industry, Operation Sindoor. The situation is not good and the whole world knows. Those who call themselves patriot have run away. The prime minister is not able to give one statement,” Gandhi told reporters in Parliament House complex.”Trump has said 25 times that ‘I got the ceasefire done’. Who is Trump to get a ceasefire done? It is not his job. But the prime minister has not given a reply even once. That is the truth, he cannot hide,” Gandhi said.He said the government has accepted to have a discussion on Operation Sindoor when Prime Minister Modi returns from abroad.”On the one hand you (government) say Operation Sindoor is ongoing and on the other hand you say that victory has been achieved. Either victory has been achieved or (Operation) Sindoor is ongoing. Trump is saying I halted Sindoor, he has said it 25 times. So, ‘kuch na kuch toh daal mein kala hai na’ (something is fishy),” Gandhi said.To a question on India’s outreach post Operation Sindoor, Gandhi said, “They (government) have destroyed our foreign policy, no one supported us.”Congress leader Jairam Ramesh too reacted to Trump’s repeated claims on Wednesday. “As the Modi Govt continues in its refusal to give firm dates for a debate on Pahalgam-Sindoor in Parliament and as the Modi Govt persists in its refusal to commit to a reply by the PM in the debate, President Trump reaches the silver jubilee, the quarter century mark on his claims. He has trumpeted 25 times in the last 73 days but the Prime Minister of India is totally quiet – finding time only to travel abroad and to destabilise democratic institutions at home,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
