United States President Donald Trump on Friday once again claimed to have mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and said that five jets were shot down during Operation Sindoor, which was India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack in April.
Trump said, "We stopped a lot of wars. And these were serious, India and Pakistan, that was going on. Planes were being shot out of there. I think five jets were shot down, actually. These are two serious nuclear countries, and they were hitting each other.
Congress
MP Manish Tewari on Sunday questioned the credibility of Donald Trump's "five jets shot down" statement, saying that the US President should provide an empirical basis to substantiate the information and specify whether the planes were Indian or Pakistani.
Live Events
Manish Tewari said that it was up to the US President to provide proof of the claims he had made. "President Trump says that five military jets were shot down during that conflict; it is for President Trump to tell the world as to which country those jets belong to".
"We were in a conflict situation with Pakistan. We were responding to a terror attack. India carried out precision strikes on designated terror hideouts and training centers. Therefore, we acted in self-defence," Tewari said.
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on Sunday said that US President Trump's statement about the five fighter jets being shot down is disturbing and added, "It has been decided to raise issues, the most important being the Pahalgam attack. To date, the traces of terrorists have not been found. Regarding Operation Sindoor,
US President Donald Trump
stated for the 24th time that he secured the ceasefire. A shocking statement was made that five fighter jets were shot down. The defence attache also said the same. CDS too said the same. This disturbs us."
The Monsoon session of Parliament begins today and will continue until August 21.

Op Sindoor showcased India's prowess: Modi
Gangaikonda Cholapuram (TN): PrimeMinister Narendra Modi on Sunday said Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message that there is no sanctuary for enemies and terrorists anywhere. PM Modi made these remarks while addressing the public during the valedictory ceremony of the 'Aadi Thiruvathirai' festival, held in honour of King Rajendra Chola I's birth anniversary at the Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple in Ariyalur, Tamil Nadu. Modi also said that Operation Sindoor has sent a clear message to the world that India will respond strongly to any threat against its security and sovereignty. The event was held at the Gangaikonda Cholisvaram temple, a UNESCO-recognised marvel built by Rajendra Chola I. 'Today's India prioritises its security. During Operation Sindoor, the world witnessed that if anyone threatens India's sovereignty, the country will respond in their own language. This operation has instilled a new sense of confidence and ignited a spirit of unity across the nation. There is no haven for India's enemies and terrorists anywhere in the world," the PM said. Offering prayers at the feet of Lord Brihadeeswara, Modi said, 'I prayed for the well-being of 140 crore Indians and the continued progress of the nation. I feel truly blessed to have this opportunity.' He announced that grand statues of Chola emperors Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola will be erected in Tamil Nadu to commemorate their contributions to Indian history and culture. He said the Chola Empire represented a golden era of India, with achievements in architecture, governance, diplomacy, trade, and cultural integration. 'The Cholas established strong political and trade ties with Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Southeast Asia. It is a coincidence that I returned from the Maldives yesterday, and today I stand here in the land once ruled by these visionary kings,' he remarked.

Parl braces for fiery debate on Pahalgam, Op Sindoor
New Delhi: After a week-long washout, Parliament is all set to return to work on Monday with a debate on Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha even as some Opposition parties are expected to raise noise on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar electoral rolls. Top guns on both sides like Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and Trinamool Congress' Abhishek Banerjee are likely to speak in Lok Sabha during the debate. Singh is expected to be the first speaker, and he will spell out the contours of Operation Sindoor and subsequent developments, including the circumstances of the ceasefire and claims of US President Donald Trump that he brokered the de-escalation. All eyes will be on Singh on whether he would reveal the details of fighter aircraft India lost in the military confrontation, an issue on which the Opposition has been insisting that the government clean. Similarly, it will be keenly watched whether Congress would list Shashi Tharoor as a speaker, as he is at loggerheads with his party over his endorsement of the Modi government on the issue and leading a delegation to the US and other countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to intervene in the 'Special Discussion on India's Strong, Successful and Decisive Operation Sindoor in Response to the Terrorist Attack in Pahalgam for which 16 others have been allocated. The debate in the Rajya Sabha will start on Tuesday where also 16 hours is earmarked. The ruling BJP would be highlighting the Indian military's successful dismantlingof terror infrastructure in Pakistan, including Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and hitting for the first time the Pakistani side of Punjab since the 1971 war. The party would also try to corner the Congress by highlighting the inner-party differences over its MPs participating in the multi-party delegations sent by the government.
