Daal mein kuch kala hai: Rahul attacks PM as Trump repeats ceasefire claim ‘25 times’
The Political and Business Daily
|July 24, 2025
CONGRESS leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked the government over US President Donald Trump repeating his claims about bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, saying there is something fishy as the American leader has made the statement "25 times".
-
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha questioned as to who is Trump to get a ceasefire done and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not given a reply even once.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also hit out at the government after Trump repeated his claim.
"Trump keeps saying that he facilitated a ceasefire, but Narendra Modi is silent, not responding. Does Narendra Modi want to be subservient to Trump? The country is the most important, which is why we supported the government," Kharge told reporters here.
"In such a situation, when Trump repeatedly states that he brought about the ceasefire and insults India, the prime minister should respond firmly. This, in some way, shows weakness," he said.
Asked about Trump's claim and if the PM should make a statement as being demanded by the opposition, Gandhi said, "How can the prime minister make a statement. What will he say-- Trump got it done, he can't say that. But that is the truth.
Trump got the ceasefire done, the whole world knows. That is the reality."
