Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Kamal Nath on Saturday hailed former prime minister Indira Gandhi for not giving in to pressure from the United States of America during the 1971 India-Pakistan war which led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Nath’s statement at the MP Congress’ ‘Jai Hind Sabha’ here came in the backdrop of US President Donald Trump repeatedly asserting that he got India and Pakistan to end hostilities triggered by Operation Sindoor.
However, India has stuck to its stand that the US had no role to play. During a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Pakistan had “begged” for a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor. PTI
