Congress MP Deepender Hooda on Monday asked the central government to confront US President Donald Trump on his repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Speaking on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Hooda also asked the government to either shut down Trump or the American multinational fast food chain McDonald’s in India.
“It is unfortunate that the US president said 28 times (about the claim on the India-Pakistan ceasefire)… Donald (Trump) ko chup karao, Donald ka muh band karao ya phir Hindustan mein (Either shut Donald’s mouth or close down McDonald’s in India)," he said.
After Hooda’s speech, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the House and dismissed the claims by Trump on the ceasefire, without naming him.
“On May 9, US Vice President JD Vance called the Prime Minister, warning of a massive Pakistani attack in the next two hours. The PM, in his response, made it very clear that if such an attack happens, it would meet an appropriate response from our side. That attack took place and was foiled by our armed forces on May 9-10. Our response was delivered. Every member has seen satellite pictures of Pakistani air bases. You can see pictures. On May 10, we received phone calls, sharing the impression that Pakistan was ready to cease the fight. Our position was that if Pakistan was ready, we needed to get this request from the Pakistani side through the DGMO channels. At no stage, in any conversation with the United States, was there any linkage with trade and what was going on," he added.
Jaishankar also no telephonic conversation was held between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump from April 22 to June 17.
