With US President Donald Trump repeating his claim that he settled the recent conflict between India and Pakistan through the promise of trade, the Congress on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not rejected such statements even once and asked why this “thundering silence”.
Congress’ general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said that for the eight time in 11 days, President Trump has claimed full credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, praised the PMs of India and Pakistan equally and put them on par in every way, and also reiterated that trade with the US was the instrument he used to get the two counties to declare a ceasefire.
“Yet our PM — Donald bhai’s great buddy — is completely silent on what the US President is repeatedly saying. The External Affairs Minister also continues to maintain complete quiet on what his pal, the US Secretary of State, has said in support of the US President’s claims and about the ‘neutral site’ for talks between India and Pakistan,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
