He wants a trade deal; he will push (PM Modi) there. You will see how this trade deal pans out,&#8221; the Congress MP said when asked to comment on Trump\u2019s statement on the ceasefire and tariffs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s speech in the Lok Sabha during the Operation Sindoor debate, the Leader of Opposition said,\u00a0\u201cIt is obvious that the Prime Minister has not said that Trump is lying. Everyone knows that he is not able to speak. That is the reality. If PM Modi speaks, then he (Donald Trump) will say things openly and keep the entire truth, that is why he *(PM Modi) is not able to speak,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#WATCH<\/a> | Delhi: On US President Donald Trump\u2019s statement on ceasefire and tariffs, Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi says, \u201c\u2026 Woh keh kyu raha hai?

Trump has said 29 times that he brought about a ceasefire, but Narendra Modi did not respond to it.&#8221; \u201cThe most notable thing was that throughout the entire speech, the Prime Minister did not mention China. The whole country knows that China helped Pakistan, but the word China did not come out of the Prime Minister\u2019s mouth,&#8221; Gandhi said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Speaking in the Lower House, Gandhi claimed the government revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan, soon after it was launched.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">\u201cYesterday, I watched Rajnath Singh ji\u2019s speech. He said that Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 in the morning and lasted for 22 minutes. He said a very shocking thing: that at 1:35, we called Pakistan and told them that we had hit non-military targets and we didn\u2019t want escalation. These are the words of the Defence Minister of India,&#8221; the former Congress president said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">\u201cYou told Pakistan exactly what you would do: that you would not target military establishments, and you didn\u2019t want escalation. That\u2019s surrender. Immediate surrender in 30 minutes,&#8221; Gandhi said, slamming the government.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">He cited remarks by the Defence Attache in Indonesia, Group Captain Shiv Kumar, to claim that there were constraints by the political leadership to not attack the Pakistani military establishment and their air defences.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Why was the Pakistani government told that India would neither attack their army infrastructure nor their air defence, and why were the hands of the Indian Air Force tied, Gandhi asked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">He alleged that the goal of this exercise was to \u201cprotect the image of the PM&#8221; as he had \u201cblood of Pahalgam victims on his hands&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\"><em>(with PTI, ANI inputs)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/saurabh-verma-2023-11-9cda0350bc65f9e8c8593b8549c03725.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/saurabh-verma-22693.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Saurabh Verma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saurabh Verma covers general, national and international day-to-day news for News18.com as a Senior Sub-editor.
