Congress Jabs Modi Over Trump's India-Pakistan Conflict Claim

In a sharp retort, the Congress critiqued Prime Minister Narendra Modi over claims by US President Donald Trump about averting the India-Pakistan conflict using trade negotiations. Trump's assertions were reiterated during a business event in Japan, attracting attention online from Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh.

Ramesh, overseeing Congress communications, shared a video of Trump's remarks where he boasted about his involvement in stopping military hostilities between the two nations. Highlighting Trump’s repeated claims across various locations, Ramesh suggested a change in the warm relations previously observed between Modi and Trump.

India maintains that peace with Pakistan resulted from direct negotiations between military officers of both sides, which contradicts Trump’s narrative. As tensions linger, the Congress seems intent on using this narrative to question the sincerity of Modi’s international friendships.
