Congress leader Rahul Gandhi questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence following fresh comments made by US President Donald Trump about mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
"Modi ji, what is the truth about the five jets? The country has the right to know!" Gandhi wrote on X, while posting a video of Trump who is heard making the claim.
Speaking at the White House during a dinner he hosted for Republican senators on Friday, Trump said, "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?"
However, Trump did not specify whether the jets were lost by either of the two countries or if he was referring to combined losses. The US President also reiterated his remarks that there would be no trade deal with India and Pakistan if the conflict continued.
