Congress Jabs Modi Over Trump's India-Pakistan Conflict Claim

The Congress took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi following US President Donald Trump's repeated claim that he halted India-Pakistan tensions through trade. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh shared Trump's statements on social media, highlighting skepticism of the American leader's assertions and suggesting strained relations between Trump and Modi.

In a sharp retort, the Congress critiqued Prime Minister Narendra Modi over claims by US President Donald Trump about averting the India-Pakistan conflict using trade negotiations. Trump's assertions were reiterated during a business event in Japan, attracting attention online from Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh.

Ramesh, overseeing Congress communications, shared a video of Trump's remarks where he boasted about his involvement in stopping military hostilities between the two nations. Highlighting Trump's repeated claims across various locations, Ramesh suggested a change in the warm relations previously observed between Modi and Trump.

India maintains that peace with Pakistan resulted from direct negotiations between military officers of both sides, which contradicts Trump's narrative. As tensions linger, the Congress seems intent on using this narrative to question the sincerity of Modi's international friendships.
