Bharat Ki Baat: Modi-Trump Call Sparks Political Row Amid Mediation Denial and Congress-BJP Clash
A recent phone call between PM Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump has ignited a fierce political clash between BJP and the opposition. According to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, the call happened at Trump’s request after he abruptly left the G7 Summit, missing a scheduled meeting with Modi. The discussion covered global issues like the Israel-Iran conflict, Russia-Ukraine war, and the Quad Summit. However, domestic controversy erupted when Modi reiterated India's firm stance against third-party mediation in the India-Pakistan conflict—contradicting Trump’s earlier claims of a mediation role. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh challenged the Indian government’s account, citing a contradictory US note on the call. BJP countered by accusing Ramesh of lying and misrepresenting facts. Adding fuel to the fire, opposition parties questioned Modi's foreign policy, especially with Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir preparing to meet Trump. BJP leaders accused Congress of acting like Pakistan’s spokespersons, defending national adversaries instead of supporting the government’s stance. The political debate has intensified, with both sides standing firm on their narratives.
