Trump’s Ceasefire Claim Sparks Congress Fury Over Operation Sindoor
Congress MPs today launched a scathing attack on the government over US President Trump’s assertion that he brokered a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor. The operation, details of which remain shrouded in secrecy, concluded abruptly last week.
Deepender Singh Hooda led the charge, demanding a strong response to Trump’s claim and a full explanation from the government. He questioned the circumstances surrounding the ceasefire and the lack of transparency.
Gaurav Gogoi echoed these concerns, adding a pointed query: If Pakistan was indeed ready to yield, to whom did India surrender? He demanded a clear account of the events leading to the operation’s conclusion.
The Congress’s sharp criticism highlights a growing unease within the opposition over the government’s handling of Operation Sindoor and its implications for national security. The lack of clarity surrounding the operation’s end, coupled with Trump’s intervention claim, raises serious questions about India’s strategic autonomy and the need for greater parliamentary oversight on such sensitive matters. The demand for answers is likely to intensify in the coming days, adding another layer of complexity to the already tense political landscape.
