Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi questioned the govt's claim of the operation's success, asking why it remains incomplete and when PoK would be reclaimed. He also sought clarity from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on US President Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire and reports of downed jets. Singh responded that the operation was paused after achieving its politico-military objectives, denying any external pressure. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar asserted that at no stage in any conversation with US was there any linkage of trade with halting of Operation Sindoor.
