NEW DELHI: (May 28) The Congress on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his “silence” on the Trump administration’s repeated claims on how the India-Pakistan “ceasefire” was brought about.
Congress general secretary in-charge Jairam Ramesh said, “The Prime Minister should let the country know whether it is true that the US Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick filed a statement in the New York-based US Court of International Trade on May 23rd, 2025 swearing that President Trump used his tariff power to broker a ‘tenuous ceasefire’ between India and Pakistan and bring about a ‘fragile peace’?”
There was no immediate reaction from the government on it but it has maintained that India-Pakistan understanding on cessation of hostilities was arrived at following direct negotiations between the two sides. PTI
