'Shut Donald's Mouth Or Close Down McDonald's': Hooda To Govt Over Trump's Ceasefire Claims
Deepender Hooda urged the government to confront Trump over his claims of brokering an India-Pakistan ceasefire, suggesting shutting Trump up or closing McDonald's in India.
Congress MP Deepender Hooda on Monday asked the central government to confront US President Donald Trump on his repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Speaking during the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Hooda also asked the government to either shut down Trump or the American multinational fast food chain McDonald's in India.
'It is unfortunate that the US president said 28 times (about the claim on the India-Pakistan ceasefire)… Donald (Trump) ko chup karao, Donald ka muh band karao ya phir Hindustan mein (Either shut Donald's mouth or close down McDonald's in India)," he said.

After Hooda's speech, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the House and dismissed the claims by Trump on the ceasefire, without naming him.
'On May 9, US Vice President JD Vance called the Prime Minister, warning of a massive Pakistani attack in the next two hours. The PM, in his response, made it very clear that if such an attack happens, it would meet an appropriate response from our side. That attack took place and was foiled by our armed forces on May 9-10. Our response was delivered. Every member has seen satellite pictures of Pakistani air bases. You can see pictures. On May 10, we received phone calls, sharing the impression that Pakistan was ready to cease the fight. Our position was that if Pakistan was ready, we needed to get this request from the Pakistani side through the DGMO channels. At no stage, in any conversation with the United States, was there any linkage with trade and what was going on," he added.
Jaishankar also no telephonic conversation was held between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump from April 22 to June 17.
Reacting to Jaishankar's speech, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the EAM did not categorically say that the US was not involved in the ceasefire.
'There are certain things that he has not categorically said. He has made some statements, but has not categorically said that the US was not involved in the ceasefire. He said that PM Modi did not speak to US President Trump for a certain period, but did not categorically say that the US was not involved. That is interesting," she said.
TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee also questioned the government over the ceasefire that brought to an end three-day conflict between India and Pakistan.
'…We thought that we would win the war and teach a lesson to Pakistan. Why did we declare a ceasefire? Have we ever seen that innings be declared when the player is about to score a century? They did the same. US President Donald Trump, in a post on social media, said that the ceasefire was agreed upon after his intervention. If it is incorrect. Why didn't PM Modi post and say that this is incorrect?… Why did we declare a ceasefire under the pressure of the American President?…"

Operation Sindoor Debate In Lok Sabha: PM Modi Slays Opposition
PM Modi's Reply On Operation Sindoor: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his counterattack against Opposition parties on Tuesday, following criticism from leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Akhilesh Yadav over intelligence failures and ceasefire claims. Addressing the Lok Sabha while replying to the opposition's charges on Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said that he stands in the house not only to present India's side but also to show a mirror to those who don't see the country's point of view. Prime Minister Modi also accused the opposition of playing at the hands of Pakistan by blowing up their narrative and claims. Prime Minister Modi also questioned Congress alleging that the grand old party has given a clean chit to Pakistan. PM Modi said that the Congress leaders are asking for proof that the terrorists were from Pakistan. Here are 10 key highlights from Prime Minister Modi's Lok Sabha speech: 1. I was abroad on 22nd April. I returned immediately. And immediately after coming back, I called a meeting and we gave clear instructions that a befitting reply has to be given to terrorism and this is our national resolve. The army was given a free hand to act. And it was also said that the army should decide when, where, how and in what manner. All these things were clearly said in that meeting. 2. Immediately following the Pahalgam attack, the Pakistani military anticipated that India would retaliate significantly. They even issued threats to use nuclear weapons. On May 6th and 7th, India executed its planned response, leaving Pakistan powerless to act. In just 22 minutes, our forces avenged the attack of April 22nd with clear objectives in mind. India took action as decided on the night of May 6, and Pakistan could do nothing about it. In 22 minutes, our army took revenge for April 22 with the designated target. 3. Armed Forces were given a free hand. They were told to decide the when, where and are proud that terrorists were punished, and it was such a punishment that the terrorist masterminds have sleepless nights even to this day. Terrorist bases were destroyed in Pakistan. No one can imagine that anyone can reach there. Bahawalpur, Muridke, has also been razed to the ground. Our forces destroyed the terrorist bases. 4. India successfully dispelled Pakistan's nuclear threat, demonstrating that nuclear blackmail is no longer an effective strategy. Pakistan's airbases and assets have suffered heavy damage. And to date, many of their airbases are in ICU. 5. India has shown its technical capability. It has struck Pakistan precisely on the chest. Pakistan's airbases and assets have suffered heavy damage. And to date, many of their airbases are in ICU. This is the era of technology-based war. If we had not made the preparations that we have done in the last 10 years, then we could imagine how much loss we could have suffered in this era of technology. 6. Through Operation Sindoor, for the first time, the world recognised the power of self-reliant India. Made in India drones, missiles exposed Pakistan's weapon system. 7. Through this operation, India has firmly conveyed three key messages: First, any assault on Indian soil by militants will be met with a decisive and fitting response on India's own terms. Second, nuclear threats will not deter India from taking necessary action. Third, there will be no distinction between a government that harbours terrorists and the masterminds behind such acts of terror. भारत ने सिद्ध कर दिया है कि न्यूक्लियर ब्लैकमेलिंग अब नहीं चलेगी, और न ही न्यूक्लियर ब्लैकमेलिंग के सामने भारत झुकेगा। -पीएम @narendramodi — BJP (@BJP4India) July 29, 2025 8. Here, many things were said (by opposition) regarding foreign policy as well. Many things were also said about global support. No country in the world has stopped India from taking action for its security. Out of 193 countries, only 3 countries made statements in support of Pakistan. Be it QUAD or BRICS... India received support from all over the world. 9. We said this on the first day in the press conference that our action is non-escalatory. We did Operation Sindoor by saying this. And that is why we stopped strike after targets were achieved. No leader of the world asked India to stop Operation Sindoor. During this time, on the night of May 9, the Vice President of the United States tried to talk to me. He kept trying for around an hour but I was busy in a meeting with our armed forces. So, I could not take his call. Later I called him back. The American Vice President informed me that Pakistan was planning a massive strike against India. My response was - if this is Pakistan's desire, then it will cost them dearly. If Pakistan will attack, we will carry out a bigger strike. 10. Operation Sindoor is going on. Pakistan ne 'dussahas ki kalpana ki toh, usse karara javab diya jayega' (if Pakistan dares any misadventure, they will get a befitting reply).

No One Asked India To Stop Operation Sindoor: PM Modi Replies To Oppositions Trump Ceasefire Claims
Replying to the Opposition's charges on US President Donald Trump's India-Pakistan ceasefire claims, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, while addressing the Lok Sabha, said that no leader of the world had asked India to stop Operation Sindoor. 'We said this on the first day in the press conference that our action is non-escalatory. We did Operation Sindoor by saying this. And that is why we stopped the strike after targets were achieved. No leader of the world asked India to stop Operation Sindoor,' the Prime Minister said. Operation Sindoor The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). This came after the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, in which 26 individuals were killed. According to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the Operation targeted key terrorist hubs and achieved complete operational success within just 22 minutes, eliminating over 100 terrorists and handlers. Pakistan retaliated by launching drone and missile attacks on Indian territory. After four days of military conflict between India and Pakistan, a ceasefire agreement was announced on May 10. Amit Shah In Lok Sabha Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday, during the ongoing debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor, said that Pakistan is Congress's mistake and added that during Operation Sindoor those who sent the terrorists were killed, and in Operation Mahadev those who carried out the attack were gunned down. "Pakistan is Congress's mistake. If they had not accepted partition, there would have been no Pakistan today," Shah said. "Operation Sindoor killed those who sent the terrorists, and Operation Mahadev killed those who carried out the attack... I thought that after hearing this news, there would be a wave of happiness in the ruling and the Opposition parties, 'Magar Syaahi padd gayi inke chehre pe' (Their faces are smeared with ink)... What kind of politics is this?" Shah said during the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lower House. Responding to the opposition's "why there was no war" charge, the Union Home Minister said that PoK exists only because of Jawaharlal Nehru. He claimed that the Nehru government gave 80 percent of Indus waters to Pakistan and forgot about PoK in 1971 during Indira Gandhi's tenure as Prime Minister.

'From Sindoor to Sindhu, we have taken action against Pakistan on all fronts: PM Modi addresses Operation Sindoor in Parliament
'From Sindoor to Sindhu, we have taken action against Pakistan on all fronts: PM Modi on Operation Sindoor in Parliament | Key Highlights PM Modi on Operation Sindoor: Once again asserting that the Indian armed forces taught a good lesson to those behind the Pahalgam attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that 'masters of terrorism' are still losing their sleep over it. At the same time he launched a blistering attack on the Opposition for raising question on Operation Sindoor . Responding to the two-day debate on Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, the prime minister said the attack was aimed at instigating riots in India, and the country's unity has foiled the attempt. He also noted that Pakistan had some inkling of Indian action and had started issuing nuclear threats, but could do nothing when terror targets were hit. Key Highlights 'I stand here to make a case for India, and to show a mirror to those who do not understand this. I had said that we will teach the terrorists and their masters a befitting lesson which will be beyond their imagination. 'The armed forces taught them such a lesson that the masters of terrorism are still losing their sleep over it,' he said. 'It ( Pahalgam attack) was a conspiracy to instigate riots in India and the country's unity foiled that attempt. When I speak of this Parliament session being a Vijayotsav , it is of destroying the headquarters of terror,' he said. When Pakistan came out in support of terrorists, India's missiles, drones caused unimaginable loss; forced Pakistan to its knees Indian forces showed Pakistan that they had destroyed terror sites within minutes; we made our capabilities clear to them. On May 7, Indian armed forces stated publicly that they have struck terror sites inside Pakistan For Operation Sindoor , India had decided to attack the epicentre of terror that had supported Pahalgam terrorists Opposition can get headlines in media with their attacks on me, but this cannot earn them place in hearts of people of country Congress leaders targeted me for political gains, but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers India got support of the entire world, but it is unfortunate that Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers.
