In a bold move, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has openly challenged the Indian government's narrative regarding recent claims made by US President Donald Trump. Trump asserted that his administration played a pivotal role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, a claim that Kharge and his party intend to scrutinize thoroughly.

The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha emphasized the sensitive nature of the issue, calling for an all-party meeting to unravel the truth behind the claims. Kharge is determined to investigate the government's side of the story and address questions about the alleged mediation involved in easing the recent border tensions.

Furthermore, Kharge demanded clarity from the government amid Trump's bold statements about using trade as leverage to compel the nations towards peace. As Congress presses for a special parliamentary session, the political atmosphere remains charged as parties dissect the geopolitical implications of Trump's controversial statements.
