All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge stated on Tuesday that the Congress would search clarification from the central authorities over the ceasefire between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor was carried out as retaliation for the Pahalgam terror assault.
Responding to media queries at Kalaburagi, Kharge stated that US President Donald Trump had taken credit score for the ceasefire between the 2 neighbouring nations. “Trump has taken credit score. (However, Prime Minister Narendra) Modi is denying it. This can be a delicate concern,” he stated, noting that an all-party assembly can be convened on the difficulty quickly.
“When the assembly is held, we are going to discuss what occurred (earlier than the ceasefire was declared). We’ll ask concerning the phone calls with the US that Indian officers had. Commenting about it now isn’t appropriate,” Kharge stated, including that he has requested PM Modi to carry an all-party assembly quickly.
On Monday night, Modi had stated that India stopped navy operations in opposition to Pakistan after it pleaded with it. In keeping with the PM, Operation Sindoor was the brand new anti-terror coverage of the nation, and India wouldn’t tolerate any “nuclear blackmail” by its western neighbour. These remarks have been made in a televised handle to the nation on Monday night, hours after Trump stated that he stopped a “unhealthy nuclear struggle” between India and Pakistan by threatening to cease commerce with each international locations.
Two days in the past, Kharge had written to PM Modi, requesting {that a} particular session of Parliament be convened to debate the Pahalgam terror assault, Operation Sindoor, and the ceasefire announcement made first by Washington DC and later by the governments of India and Pakistan.
