Breaking: Trump's Ceasefire Claim Sparks Political Storm in India, Opposition Demands Modi's Clarification

In this episode of Mahadangal with anchor Chitra Tripathi, the focus is on the rising political turmoil in India following a controversial statement by U.S. President Donald Trump. During his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Trump reiterated that his administration was responsible for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This claim has sparked outrage in Indian political circles, as the Indian government has repeatedly stated that the ceasefire was proposed by Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), who contacted the Indian DGMO on May 10. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has clarified that there were no discussions on trade between India and the U.S. during or after Operation Sindhu, which began on May 7. They also asserted that India does not accept any third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue. Despite these clarifications, Trump continues to take credit for the ceasefire, prompting opposition leaders in India to demand that Prime Minister Modi clarify the government’s stance. The show also highlights how Indian forces remain on high alert and that any future talks with Pakistan will strictly focus on terrorism. Chitra Tripathi leads a panel discussion questioning the government’s silence and the need for a special parliamentary session to address Trump’s remarks and India's diplomatic position.
