NEW DELHI: Congress leader Pawan Khera on Wednesday launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi , invoking US President Donald Trump ’s repeated claims -- including the latest one -- that he mediated a peaceful agreement between India and Pakistan after India's retaliatory strikes after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Trump, in his most recent comments on India, also mentioned the anticipated trade deal between the US and India. While answering questions on high tariffs imposed by India, Trump said, "Yeah, I think so. India is my friend. They ended the war with Pakistan at my request...The deal with India is not finalised. India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country..."
Just a day earlier, during the Operation Sindoor debate in Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had accused the PM Modi- led government of using the military operation to protect the Prime Minister's image.
He further challenged PM Modi to call Trump a "liar" in Parliament, over the latter's repeated claims of using trade leverage to end the India-Pakistan conflict. "If Narendra Modi has even 50 per cent of the courage of Indira Gandhi, he should declare in the House that Trump is lying about the ceasefire," Rahul Gandhi said.
In Parliament, PM Modi responded firmly, saying that no foreign leader had asked India to halt Operation Sindoor, thereby directly countering Trump’s repeated remarks. "No world leader asked for suspension of Operation Sindoor," the PM said. His comment came in response to the opposition’s demand that he show courage and publicly dispute Trump’s statements.
Targeting PM Modi over Trump's latest remarks about brokering a ceasefire, Khera said, "Trump is coiled around Modi like a snake. And yesterday, Rahul Gandhi handed him the perfect chance to wriggle out of the mess. Just say Trump was lying about the ceasefire. Simple, right? But no. Modi is allergic to taking Rahul ji’s advice. And voilà, today the snake is back, coiled tighter than ever, hissing bitter truths into Modi’s ear."Trump is coiled around Modi like a snake. And yesterday, @RahulGandhi handed him the perfect chance to wriggle out of the mess. Just say Trump was lying about the ceasefire.
