Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of halting India's actions against Pakistan's terror camps under Trump's direction during a rally in Bihar.

- 

Rahul Gandhi of the Congress on Wednesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had “immediately stopped India's action against terror camps in Pakistan following US President Donald Trump's directions”.

Rahul Gandhi's statement, at a Mazaffarpur rally in poll-bound Bihar as part of the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, comes hours after Donald Trump once again doubled down on his claim of playing a catalyst in the truce between India and Pakistan following military conflict in May. The US President further claimed he personally intervened between the two nuclear-powered neighbours and used trade and tariff threats to force Prime Minister Narendra Modi into agreeing to a ceasefire with Islamabad.

“Trump said today that when the war between India and Pakistan was going on, I picked up the phone and told Narendra Modi and told him to stop whatever he was doing within 24 hours. And Narendra Modi stopped everything in five hours, not 24 hours,” the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said at the rally.

What did Donald Trump claim?

The US President has once again claimed that he stopped the India and Pakistan war from “going nuclear” by threatening to impose tariffs and refusing to do any trade deals if they did not agree to a ceasefire.
