'Kaan Kholke Sun Le...' No third-party role in Pak ceasefire: EAM in RS
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday clarified that there was no phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump between April 22, the day the Pahalgam terror attack took place, and June 16. "I want to tell them (Opposition), woh kaan kholke sun le... (listen carefully) From April 22 to June 16, where wasn't one phone call between President Trump and PM Modi," Jaishankar said in the Rajya Sabha. The minister's remarks came amid Opposition's questions to the government on Donald Trump claiming credit for the ceasefire in the India-Pakistan military conflict. Jaishankar also reiterated that there was no third-party intervention in the India-Pak ceasefire, and that all issues with Pakistan will be dealt with bilaterally. The government has time and again rejected Trump's assertion that a mediation from the United States led to the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan back in May. "...When Operation Sindoor commenced, a number of countries were in touch with us to see how serious the situation was and how long it would go... We gave the same message to all the countries... that we were not open to any mediation," Jaishankar said. He clarified that all countries which got in touch with India were informed that a fight with Pakistan would continue until a request through the channel of the DGMO in Pakistan. "If that fighting was to stop, Pakistan must make a request. And that request could only come through the channel of the DGMO...," Jaishankar added. Repeating what PM Modi said on Tuesday, Jaishankar said US Vice President JD Vance called on May 9, warning that Pakistan was planning a huge attack on India. To this, PM Modi replied that India's response would be appropriate, he said. ''Hum goli ka jawab gole se denge (We will respond to bullets with missiles)',' the Prime Minister had said earlier. Speaking about the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, Jaishankar noted that that incident was "absolutely unacceptable" and crossed India's "red line". "When the Pahalgam attack happened on April 22, it was a shocking attack for a variety of manner in which people were killed in front of their families, the fact that their faith was asked before killing them, the intent of destroying the economy of Jammu and Kashmir, which had returned to normalcy and prosperity after the end of Article 370. All of this angered the country," he said.

Why is PM not denying Trump's claims?
New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is 'refusing to unequivocally' deny United States President Donald Trump's India-Pakistan ceasefire claims that have been made '30 times' as he is on a 'very weak wicket and has much to cover up'. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said PM Modi cannot state that Trump is lying about his role in bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan as if he does so, the American leader will lay bare the truth. The Opposition party took a swipe at Modi after Trump repeated his claim about playing a role in bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, saying the American leader is coiled around the PM 'like a snake' and 'hissing bitter truths' into his ear. Asked about Trump's latest remarks repeating his claims and that India is preparing to face higher US tariffs between 20 and 25 per cent, Gandhi said, "It is obvious, the Prime Minister has not said that Trump is lying. It is obvious what has happened. Everyone knows, he is not able to say it. That is the reality." "If the Prime Minister says it then he (Trump) will say openly and will lay bear the truth so that is why the PM is not able to say anything," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. Gandhi said Trump is making the remarks to put pressure on the Indian government for the trade deal. "Now, you see what kind of trade deal happens," he told reporters in the Parliament House complex. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the PM doesn't have the guts to tell Trump that he is lying and it seems that 'daal mein kuch kala hai (there is something fishy)'. "Our policy has been that we have never accepted any sort of mediation by a third party in negotiations and it is unacceptable to us even today. Why did they agree, what were the reasons, they should tell the country," Kharge told reporters in the Parliament House complex. "He (Modi) did not even take Trump's name even once in his two-hour speech.

Trump again claims credit for India-Pak ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after recent conflicts in May. The conflict followed April's Pahalgam terror attacks, which resulted in 26 deaths and led to 'Operation Sindoor' targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday on Air Force One on his way back to Washington from Scotland, Trump repeated the claim that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan. The US President praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for contributing to regional stability. "Look, India, they're my friends," Trump said, acknowledging India's role in ending hostilities with Pakistan. "India has been a good friend," Trump stated, adding that now he is "in charge" and such practices would end. However, India has consistently refuted Trump's claims about brokering peace. It clarified that Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations contacted their Indian counterpart to request an end to hostilities before agreeing on a ceasefire. The ongoing discussions between India and the United States reflect both nations' commitment to strengthening their trade relationship while addressing regional security concerns collaboratively.
