What did Rahul Gandhi say?

Speaking at an occasion in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, the Congress chief acknowledged that the prime minister surrendered after Trump’s name to India in the course of the battle with Pakistan.

“A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered – history is witness to this, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down,” mentioned Gandhi, including that the Congress authorities throughout 1971 “broke Pakistan in 1971 despite the threat of America.

US’ position in Indo-Pak ceasefire 

Moments earlier than the official ceasefire announcement from India and Pakistan, US President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and claimed that his administration had performed a key position for a right away ceasefire.

Since the ceasefire almost a month in the past, Trump and the US have claimed it performed a key position in bringing peace to the area.

However, India has denied this declare and acknowledged that Trump performed no such position. Comments made by international secretary Vikram Misri and exterior affairs minister S Jaishankar replicate the identical.

“The cessation of firing was agreed between the military commanders of both sides through direct contact. The morning before, we effectively hit and incapacitated Pakistan’s main airbases and air defence system. So who should I thank for the cessation of hostilities? I thank the Indian military because it was the Indian military action that made Pakistan say: We are ready to stop,” the EAM was quoted as saying.
