Ceasefire Controversy: Rahul Gandhi , Operation Sindoor Triggers Political Firestorm as Congress Demands Transparency on India-Pakistan Ceasefire.
Ceasefire Controversy: Rahul Gandhi Questions Modi’s On June 3, 2025, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi intensified his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that Modi agreed to a ceasefire with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor following a call from former U.S. President Donald Trump. Gandhi accused Modi of surrendering under external pressure, suggesting that the decision compromised India’s autonomy in national security matters.
Gandhi’s remarks were made during a party convention in Bhopal, where he mocked the BJP-RSS alliance, claiming they panic under pressure. He stated, “Donald Trump called from there and said – Narender… surrender. Here, Narendra Modi followed Trump’s gesture by saying ‘Yes Sir’.”
The Ceasefire Controversy Rahul Gandhi , centers around Operation Sindoor, an Indian military response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians. Following the operation, a ceasefire was announced, with the U.S. claiming to have mediated the agreement. However, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs has denied any third-party involvement, asserting that the ceasefire was a bilateral decision between India and Pakistan.
In response to the ceasefire and the alleged U.S. involvement, Gandhi and other opposition leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, have called for a special session of Parliament to discuss the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor, and the ceasefire agreement. They emphasize the need for transparency and parliamentary oversight in matters of national security.
Prime Minister Modi, on the other hand, has maintained that Pakistan pleaded for the ceasefire during Operation Sindoor and that the operation is not yet concluded. He emphasized India’s assertive stance in the conflict, rejecting claims of external mediation.
The situation continues to evolve, with political tensions high and calls for greater transparency in India’s foreign policy decisions.
