US President Donald Trump has so far again claimed that he has “stopped” the recent “war” between India and Pakistan and 5 jets were shot in the struggle.
“We closed the war between India and Pakistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda,” Trump said at a reception at the White House with Congress members. “They shot five aircraft and it was forward and back … I called them and said, ‘Listen, no more business. If you do this, you are not going to be good … They are both powerful atomic nations and must have happened, and who knows where it would have ended. And I stopped it”, “,”, “,”, India said repeatedly.
Targeting the government, opposition Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Trump has said 25 times that ‘I got a ceasefire’. Who is Trump to get a ceasefire? It’s not his job. But the Prime Minister has not responded even once. It is true. It is true.”
Last Friday, Trump – who has repeated his claim at least 20 times since May 10 – said for the first time that “five jets were shot” during the recent struggle “, although he did not say which of the two countries had lost or whether he was referring to the joint loss of the two sides.
When asked about Trump’s claim and if the PM should give a statement, he said, “How can PM give a statement? What he would say – Trump can do it, he cannot say so. But it is true. Tram got a ceasefire.” Congress chief Mallikrajun Kharge said, “When Trump repeatedly said that he brought about the ceasefire and insulted India, the PM should respond firmly. This, somehow, shows weakness.”
