TMC MP Criticizes Ceasefire During India-Pak Military Standoff

TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee criticized the ceasefire announced during the India-Pakistan military standoff, drawing a comparison to a cricket player declaring an innings at the brink of a century. Banerjee questioned PM Modi's silence on US President Trump's claims of mediating the ceasefire and challenged the decision to halt military action.

TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee has criticized the recent ceasefire announcement during the India-Pakistan military standoff. He likened the decision to a player declaring innings just before scoring a century, suggesting that the move was premature while many Indians were expecting a strategic victory.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Banerjee questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on US President Donald Trump's social media post, which claimed that the US had a role in brokering the ceasefire. Banerjee pointedly asked why Modi did not challenge Trump's assertion publicly.

Despite the ceasefire, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh declared that the desired politico-military objectives were achieved in Operation Sindoor. Singh emphasized that the decision to pause the operation was independent and not influenced by external pressures.
