Who pressured India into ceasefire?: Congress demands answers on Operation Sindoor, terms of peace with Pakistan
NEW DELHI: As the fog surrounding Operation Sindoor begins to lift, the Congress on Saturday launched a direct attack on the Modi government, demanding clarity on the terms of the ceasefire with Pakistan following India's retaliatory strikes for the Pahalgam terror attack. Senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Pawan Khera accused the government of 'misleading the nation' and questioned whether it had demanded the extradition of most-wanted terrorists from Islamabad. What were the conditions of peace with Pakistan? At a press conference in Delhi, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera raised sharp questions: 'When will the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack be caught? Who procured the RDX for Pulwama? Under what pressure was the ceasefire with Pakistan finalised?' Khera asked if India had used the moment to demand the extradition of Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar, and Dawood Ibrahim. 'We want strong answers to strong questions,' he said, adding, 'Was justice served to the women who lost their husbands in Pahalgam?' India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the attack in Pahalgam. The strikes were followed by Pakistani retaliation, which was successfully repelled by India, including airbase assaults. Kharge: 'Trump's claim contradicts Shimla Agreement' Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge added weight to the criticism, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was using the military operation for electoral gain. Referring to an interview given by India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) in Singapore, Kharge said, 'Important questions must be asked now that the fog of war is clearing.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He cited the CDS's remarks acknowledging that Indian Air Force jets were briefly grounded, recalibrated, and then redeployed within two days. 'We salute their courage. But a strategic review is urgently needed,' Kharge said. He reiterated Congress's demand for a comprehensive review of India's defence preparedness by an independent expert committee, similar to the post-Kargil assessment. Kharge also flagged former US President Donald Trump's repeated assertions that he helped broker the ceasefire. 'This is a direct affront to the Shimla Agreement. Instead of clarifying Trump's claims, PM Modi is on a campaign spree, taking credit for the bravery of our armed forces while remaining silent on the terms of the ceasefire.' Congress demands special Parliament session Calling the matter too serious to ignore, Kharge demanded that the government immediately convene a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and its aftermath. 'Are India and Pakistan being hyphenated again? What were the real terms behind the ceasefire announced by our Foreign Secretary on the 10th, just hours after Trump's tweet?' he asked. '140 crore patriotic Indians deserve to know this,' Kharge concluded.

Acura Launches a Killer MDX Lease Offer for May
Acura has an enticing offer for the 2025 MDX SH-AWD. If you're in the market for a luxurious three-row SUV, this lease offer could be what you have been looking for to get an MDX in your driveway. The MDX is currently available for $559 per month for a 36-month term, with $4,999 due at signing and up to 10,000 miles per year. If you currently own a 2015 or newer Acura, you may be eligible for a sweeter lease deal at a lower monthly payment. Acura's "Special Loyalty Lease" is available for $529 per month for a 36-month term with $4,999 due at signing. This lease deal also allows for 10,000 miles per year. The MDX is Acura's flagship SUV offering in a lineup that also includes the RDX and brand-new ADX. Some of its main competitors include the Audi Q7, Lexus GX, and Lincoln Aviator, all of which are formidable rivals in the segment. The MDX brings a lot of value to the table with its daring sense of style and value. For 2025, the model has been slightly refreshed with a new bumper, wheel, and grille design to differentiate itself from the outgoing model. Inside, the center console area has been reworked, and new 16-way adjustable front seats with a massage feature have been added as an option. The base model, which is what this lease deal is for, now comes equipped with two more speakers and a Bang and Olufsen sound system is now an option. There are six different trim levels for the MDX, so if you want to lease a higher-spec trim, you will be paying more monthly. Potential lessees who want to save money on the upfront costs can pay $0 at signing, with some adjustments to the monthly payment. We have estimated the monthly payment by spreading the $4,999 due at signing over the 36-month term (approximately $138.86), which equates to roughly $697 per month. *This $0 down figure is an estimation.
