U.S. President Donald Trump claimed five jets were downed during Operation Sindoor, reigniting scrutiny of the Modi government’s transparency. The Congress demanded clarity, citing Trump’s repeated assertions and a U.S. court filing by Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick. The Modi administration maintains the ceasefire with Pakistan was bilateral, denying third-party mediation. Critics argue Trump’s tariff diplomacy may have influenced the pause in hostilities. The Opposition accuses the government of abandoning its long-held stance against external mediation in India-Pakistan affairs. The public and political circles are pressing for answers, emphasizing that the nation deserves to know the truth behind the ceasefire and the extent of U.S. involvement.
