‘No power can dictate India': Jagdeep Dhankhar's bold message amid Donald Trump claiming credit for India-Pak ceasefire

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar boldly asserted that no power on the planet 'can dictate India on how to handle its affairs', and that all the country's decisions are taken by its leadership. Dhankhar made the remarks while addressing the officer trainees of the Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) 2024 batch at the Vice-President's Enclave, on Friday, July 19. The Indian Vice President's comments come amid the mounting pressure from the Opposition for answers following US President Donald Trump's claims of brokering a "ceasefire" in the recent India and Pakistan conflict. 'Don't be guided by narratives outside. All decisions in this country, a sovereign nation, are taken by its leadership. There is no power on the planet to dictate to India how to handle its affairs,' the vice president said, according to ANI. The POTUS has repeatedly claimed that he played a key role in negotiating a ceasefire between the two arch enemies – India and Pakistan – on May 10, and even tying it to a trade deal offered to both the neighbours by him. 'We stopped a lot of fights, very, very big one was India and Pakistan. We stopped that over trade," Trump had told Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu while meeting over the Israel-Hamas conflict. India, however, has pushed back, firmly stating that the decision to de-escalate came through direct military-level talks— between India and Pakistan's Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs)—with no foreign involvement. Adding to his series of claims, Trump also claimed earlier this week that five fighter jets were shot down during the conflict between India and Pakistan in May, without explicitly mentioning whose jets were downed. Stating that Operation Sindoor — as part of which India retaliated to Pakistan's attack in Pahalgam on April 22 — 'is not over,' Dhankhar claimed that 'there will be challenges' to create divisiveness. 'There will be challenges. Challenges will be to create divisiveness. For example, we have seen global conflagrations -- two of them in particular, you know them. These have become open-ended. Look at the devastation of property, human lives, and their misery. And look at our calibration. We taught a lesson -- taught it well. We chose Bahawalpur and Muridke, and then brought it to a temporary conclusion. 'Operation Sindoor' is not over -- it continues,' said the Vice President.

Jagdeep Dhankar Slams "Outside Narratives" In Speech To Defence Trainees

New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday addressed the 2024 batch of Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) officer trainees at the Vice-President's Enclave, delivering a forceful speech underlining India's sovereign decision-making and civilisational ethos. "Don't be guided by narratives outside. All decisions in this country as a sovereign nation are taken by its leadership," he said, in what appeared to be a veiled dig at sections of the opposition parties who are questioning the current dispensation, citing US President Trump's claim that his intervention led to the ceasefire between India-Pakistan conflict. Referring to 'Operation Sindoor' - military retaliation carried out by Indian Security Forces in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack- VP Dhankhar said the mission was not over but had been "brought to a temporary conclusion" after delivering a strong message to terror elements in Bahawalpur and Muridke. "Some people ask why it was stopped. We are a nation that believes in peace and non-violence... the land of Buddha, Mahavira, and Gandhi," he added. In a speech that spanned themes of governance, youth aspirations, national security, and cultural pride, he called for greater awareness among the younger generation of India's democratic journey and global standing. He emphasised that while India is a member of the global comity of nations and engages diplomatically, "there is no power on the planet that can dictate to India how to handle its affairs." His statements assume significance as several Western nations have questioned India's stand on the Russia-Ukraine war and have threatened to impose sanctions as India continues to import oil from Russia. Touching on India's transformation over the past decade, the Vice President hailed achievements in rural development, infrastructure, and digital connectivity. "People of my generation never believed there would be a toilet in every house, a gas connection, internet access, or world-class trains," he said, asserting that 'Viksit Bharat' is not a dream but an ongoing reality. In a sharp critique of the rising commercialisation of education, he questioned the spectacle of coaching centre advertisements. "This is not Bharat. We cannot have commodification. We must return to the spirit of the Gurukul," he said, urging youth to break out of silos and embrace broader opportunities. Calling India's demographic dividend "a global envy," he urged the officer trainees to commit themselves to nation-building while upholding India's ancient legacy and sustainable vision for the future.

No external power can dictate how India manages its affairs: Vice President Dhankhar

NEW DELHI: Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday asserted that all decisions concerning India are taken solely by its leadership, emphasising that no external power can dictate how the country manages its affairs. He also said, "We do live in a nation and nations that are a comity. We work in togetherness, we work in tandem. We have mutual respect, diplomatic dialogues. But at the end of the day, we are sovereign, we take our own decisions.' Addressing the officer trainees of IDES 2024 batch at the Vice-President's Enclave here, he said, 'There will be challenges. Challenges will be to create divisiveness. For example, we have seen global conflagrations - two of them in particular, you know them. These have become open-ended. Look at the devastation of property, human lives, and their misery. And look at our calibration. We taught a lesson, taught it well. We chose Bahawalpur and Muridke, and then brought it to a temporary conclusion. 'Operation Sindoor' is not over - it continues." 'Some people ask the question - why was it stopped? We are a nation that believes in peace, nonviolence, a land of Buddha, Mahavira, and Gandhi. We do not wish to kill even living beings - how can we target human beings? The idea was to generate sanity, to generate a sense of humanity in the others,' he said. 'Our demographic dividend is a global envy. 65% of our population is below 35 years of age. The median age of this country is 28, whereas that of China and the U.S. is around 38–39, and Japan, 48. Now, you are the chosen ones. You've got the opportunity to serve Bharat, home to one-sixth of humanity," he said.
