The Congress on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his “silence” on the repeated claims of the Trump administration about how it took place between India and Pakistan.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The Prime Minister should tell the country whether it is true that US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutynik took a statement on May 23, 2025 by filing a statement in the US International Trade Court in New York that President Trump has used his tariff power to make ‘unstable ceasefire’ and ‘delicate peace’ between India and Pakistan?”
There was no immediate response from the government to this, but it said that after a direct talks between the two sides, there was a consensus between India and Pakistan when they ended enmity.
In a post on X, Ramesh further said, “Mr. Lutynik himself is running on the footsteps of President Trump, who claimed this 8 times in 11 days in 3 different countries. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also reiterated the same thing and also mentioned a ‘neutral place’ for talks between India and Pakistan.”
He said, “Prime Minister breaks silence.”
In fact, the US President has repeatedly claimed that he has helped to resolve the tension between India and Pakistan.
India carried out accurate attacks on terrorist bases under Operation Sindoor on the morning of 7 May in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, killing 26 people. After Indian action, Pakistan tried to attack Indian military bases on 8, 9 and 10 May. The Indian Army attacked several Pakistani military bases.
After four days of drone and missile attacks from across the border, it was agreed to end the military conflict between India and Pakistan on 10 May. On May 10, US President Donald Trump claimed that India and Pakistan had agreed to complete and immediate ceasefire after a long conversation with Washington’s mediation.
