President Trump has reiterated his claims regarding mediation between India and Pakistan during a recent speech, prompting criticism from the Congress party, which accuses the Modi government of failing to counter such narratives. Trump insists that his trade negotiations pressured both nations to cease hostilities following India’s Operation Sindoor in May 2025, which was launched in response to a terror attack. India has consistently rejected any notion of third-party mediation, emphasizing the importance of bilateral resolution as per the Shimla Agreement. This situation highlights the ongoing tensions in diplomatic narratives, where the Congress party leverages Trump’s assertions to question the government’s foreign policy approach and its implications for India’s sovereignty on the world stage.
