Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence over repeated ‘ceasefire’ claims made by US President Donald Trump.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘How can the Prime Minister give a statement. Kya bolenge PM, ki Trump ne karwaya hai. (What will he say. That Trump has announced it. He can't say it, but it is the truth. The entire world knows that Trump has announced a ceasefire. We can't hide from reality’.
Gandhi emphasised that the Opposition seeks a discussion in Parliament on multiple pressing issues facing the country. He said, ‘This is not only about a ceasefire. There are several major issues that we would like to discuss related to defence, defence manufacturing, and Operation Sindoor. The condition is not normal; the entire nation knows’.
Taking a jibe at PM Modi, LoP remarked, ‘Those who call themselves patriots have run away’. He said the Prime Minister has not been able to provide a single response to Trump's claims about a ceasefire, which he has reiterated 25 times so far. This comes after a recent statement made by Donald Trump, where he repeated his claims of ‘stopping the war between India and Pakistan’ in the name of trade deals.
Earlier today, Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also slammed the Narendra Modi government for its silence on the matter. Ramesh said that the claims of a ‘ceasefire’ made by Trump have reached their silver jubilee with the US president reiterating them 25 times in the last 73 days.
During the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, the Opposition has been protesting continuously against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar, the Pahalgam attack, and Operation Sindoor. For the third consecutive day on Wednesday, the proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned amid protests by opposition members.
