New Delhi, July 23 (Reporter) Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi today again hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his silence over US President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions of brokering a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan. Speaking to the media in the Parliament House complex, Gandhi raised concerns about the government's foreign policy, national security, and the handling of Operation Sindoor. “What statement will Prime Minister Modi give… that Trump brokered the ceasefire? He can't say that. But the truth is — Trump did broker the ceasefire, and the whole world knows it,” Gandhi said. He pointed out that Donald Trump has claimed on at least 25 occasions that he was instrumental in brokering the ceasefire deal. “Who is Trump to broker a ceasefire? That’s not his job. Yet Prime Minister Modi hasn’t responded even once. This is the truth, and you can’t run away from it,” he said while slamming the Modi government for refusing to rebut Trump’s statements. Accusing the Modi government of evading critical national issues, the Rae Bareli MP said, “There are many pressing issues that we want to discuss — from national defence and the defence industry to Operation Sindoor. Those who call themselves patriots have disappeared. The Prime Minister has not made a single public statement”. “On one hand, the government says Operation Sindoor is ongoing. On the other, it is celebrating victory. And meanwhile, Trump keeps saying he got the ceasefire done. Clearly, something is fishy,” he said. Alleging that India's foreign policy has weakened under the Modi government, Gandhi claimed, “Not a single country has come forward in our support. The Modi government has torn apart our foreign policy”...////...
