Rajya Sabha member Sasmit Patra raised questions about the US involvement in ceasefire talks with Pakistan. The discussion, centered around India's autonomy in Operation Sindoor, drew comments from various political figures about governmental transparency, accountability, and the controversial ceasefire announcements by President Trump.

In a heated discussion in the Rajya Sabha, BJD member Sasmit Patra questioned the Indian government's engagement with the US administration over President Donald Trump's public references to negotiating a ceasefire with Pakistan. The deliberation, part of a larger conversation on India's Operation Sindoor, highlighted various political stances.

Patra, along with other political representatives, emphasized India's independent stance in conducting the operation. They voiced concerns over transparency, particularly why President Trump’s ceasefire remarks continued despite no formal involvement from his administration.
