Dismissing US President Donald Trump’s claims to have brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that there was no phone calls between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi between April 22 and June 17.
“After we retaliated Pakistan’s attack, we got phone calls saying Pakistan was ready to stop. But, we told them the request has to come from Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO),” Jaishankar told the Parliament during a debate on Operation Sindoor.
What Jaishankar said in Lok Sabha
Thanks to India’s diplomacy, TRF – which owned up Pahalgam attack- designated as global terrorist organisation.
Multilateral groups such as Quad and BRICS condemned April 22 Pahalgam attack, so did many individual countries.
German foreign minister said India has every right to defend itself against terror and will support us; so has France and EU.
No phone call took place between PM Modi and US President Trump between April 22 and June 17.
After we retaliated Pak attack, we got phone calls saying Pak was ready to stop; but we told them request has to come from DGMO.
People who did nothing have the temerity to question government which brought down Bahawalpur and Muridke terror sites.
