From Busting Trump's Ceasefire Claim To Bursting Cong's Pak 'Sympathy'- PM Modi's Full Speech in LS
In a thunderous rebuttal in Parliament, PM Modi finally broke his silence on Donald Trump's ceasefire claims during Operation Sindoor. Modi made it clear that no world leader, not even the US President, told India to stop. He revealed that when the US Vice President tried to warn him about a Pakistani retaliation, he didn't even take the call immediately, because he was in a war room with Indian military commanders. Modi also hit back at the Congress party, accusing them of importing Pakistan's narratives, questioning the armed forces, and undermining India's victory. He called Operation Sindoor India's boldest strike, crippling terror HQs deep inside Pakistan, proving that nuclear threats and blackmail no longer work against India. From airbases in ICU to terror masterminds losing sleep, Modi said Pakistan begged for mercy. Watch the full breakdown of the biggest military and political expose from PM Modi.

Rahul Gandhi points to new China-Pakistan axis, blames govt for jet losses
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having conducted Operation Sindoor without political will and by tying the Indian forces' hands and alleged that the sole aim of the military action against Pakistan was to "protect the image of the PM" after the Pahalgam killings. Gandhi alleged that the Modi government's policy short-sight led to a "dangerous Pakistan-China military fusion" and challenged the prime minister to show "half of Indira Gandhi's courage" to state in Parliament that India didn't lose any aircraft during the conflict with Pakistan and that President Trump didn't force the ceasefire. In an aggressive speech in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi built his case by citing Defence Minister Rajnath Singh 's remark that after hitting the terror camps in Pakistan right at the beginning of Operation Sindoor, the Indian side had informed Pakistan of the hit and assured that it had no intention of escalating by targeting Pakistan's military assets.

"Rajnath Ji also said that we told the Pakistanis that we are not going to hit any of their military meant that our Air Force was not given operational freedom, the freedom of manoeuvre... Captain Shiv Kumar, defence attache in Indonesia, said India lost so many aircraft, but I do not agree with that, but we did lose some aircraft. That happened because of the constraint given by the political leadership to not attack the military establishment and their air defence," Gandhi said. While accusing PM Modi of lacking political will and not giving a free hand to the Indian forces, Gandhi contrasted it with PM Indira Gandhi's conduct during the 1971 war. "I would like to remind him (Rajnath SIngh) that there was political will in 1971. The Seventh Fleet was approaching India. The then PM Indira Gandhi said we will have to do whatever we have to to liberate Bangladesh, come what may. When General Manekshaw asked for more time to start the war, Indira Gandhi told him 'take six months, one year, whatever time you need because you should have freedom of action, of manoeuvre. So, one lakh Pakistani soldiers surrendered and a new country was formed". Live Events

PM Modi said that US Vice-President JD Vance had tried to contact him 3-4 times on the night of May 9. 'US Vice President (JD Vance) tried to contact me 3-4 times, but I was busy in meetings with the armed forces,' Modi said. The Prime Minister said that he returned Vance's call later. 'The US Vice President warned me of a big attack from Pakistan. I told him that if Pakistan attacks India, our attack would be much bigger,' Modi said. ''Hum goli ja jawab gole se denge (We will respond to bullets with missiles)',' the Prime Minister said. PM Modi said that India's approach was non-escalatory and the country had targeted terror bases, which had been decided from the beginning. The Prime Minister added that Pakistan's DGMO had initiated the call to stop the fighting. 'Pakistan made a a request in front of the DGMO, 'Bas karo... bahut maara (Stop have hit enough), now we don't have the strength to take any more beating,' PM Modi said in the Lok Sabha. Responding to questions on the international support to India during Operation Sindoor, Modi said that no world leader had stopped India from exercising its right to self-defence. 'Out of 193 countries, only 3 supported Pakistan. Whether it be Quad, BRICS, France, Germany, Russia, the whole world supported India,' Modi said.
