'What's The Truth Modiji?': Rahul Gandhi After Trump's 5 Jets Claim, BJP Hits Back With 'Traitor' Jibe
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the "five jets were shot down" claim made by US President Donald Trump. The Congress leader asked PM Modi what the truth was, saying that the country has the right to know what happened during the India-Pakistan conflict in May.
"Modi ji, what is the truth about the five jets? The country has the right to know!" Rahul Gandhi wrote on X. He also posted a video of Donald Trump, wherein he can be heard making the jets claim.
Trump, while speaking at the White House on Friday, made a vague claim, saying, "You had India, Pakistan, that was going in fact, planes were being shot out of the air... four or five. But I think five jets were shot down. Actually, that was getting worse and worse, wasn't it?" Trump also stated that there would no deal with India or Pakistan if the conflict continued.
BJP Hits Back At Rahul Gandhi
The Bharatiya Janata Party hit back at Rahul Gandhi over his post questioning PM Modi, highlighting that Trump had not mentioned which country's planes he was referring to. He also asked Gandhi if he was Pakistan's spokesperson, alleging he has a "traitor's mentality".
"Rahul Gandhi's mentality is that of a traitor. In his statement, Trump neither took the name of India nor said that those five planes belonged to India. Then why did the prince of Congress accept him as belonging to India? Why did he not accept him as belonging to Pakistan? Does he sympathise more with Pakistan than his own country?" Malviya asked in a post on X in Hindi.
"The truth is that Pakistan has not yet recovered from Operation Sindoor... but Rahul Gandhi is in pain! Whenever the country's army teaches a lesson to the enemy, Congress gets irritated. Anti-India sentiment is no longer a habit of Congress, it has become its identity. Rahul Gandhi should make it clear - is he an Indian or a spokesperson of Pakistan?" he added.
Although the US President did not specify which of the two countries lost its jets in the conflict, the opposition leaders, including Jairam Ramesh and Rahul Gandhi, began targeting PM Modi over the matter. Congress has been demanding answers from PM Modi on Trump's India-Pakistan "ceasefire" claims in the Parliament's Monsoon Session, which is set to begin from July 21.
