New Delhi, June 01, 2025 (ANI): Speaking to ANI on President Trump’s statement claiming the credits of brokered India and Pakistan ceasefire, Congress MP Jai Ram Ramesh questions Prime Minister Modi for not speaking on this issue. He also said that he made a count of President Trumps repeating the same point 11 times for 21 days. He said, "I made a count, President Trump has repeated the same point he has been making for 21 days. He has claimed to have mediated and brokered the ceasefire, the new thing he has said is about nuclear escalation. He has reiterated his trade and tariffs threat as well... Secretary of State Marco Rubio, VP Vance, and even their Trade Secretary have said this... Our Prime Minister is silent. He has not responded to what President Trump has been saying. He is targeting the Congress party when he should be targeting Pakistan. He should be making sure that the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack are caught and killed... The Congress has demanded, advocated, and championed unity and solidarity at this moment of great crisis, beginning April 22, and we have extended our full support to the government. All we asked was for the Prime Minister to chair an all-party meeting and call for a session of the Parliament. Revelations made by Gen Chauhan yesterday in Singapore make our demand even more relevant now... The outcome of the Parliament session should be a resolution, which reiterates the resolution of February 22, 1994, on PoK and brings in new elements..."

00:00I made a count. President Trump has repeated the same point that he's been making. In 21 days,
00:09he's repeated 11 times. What is he saying? He's saying, I mediated, I brokered a ceasefire.
00:15The new things that he has said is about nuclear escalation. He said, these are two nuclear powers
00:20and it was very dangerous to have that escalation. And this third thing, which he has been saying
00:24all through, is that I use the instrument of trade and tariffs. And I told them, if you want
00:29to trade with America, you better stop fighting with yourselves. Better stop having this war.
00:35These are the three things he's been saying. He's been saying 11 times in 21 days. Mr. Marco Rubio
00:41has said this. Of course, Rubio has also said there will be talks between the two countries
00:45at the third neutral side. Mr. Vance appears to have communicated this to the Prime Minister.
00:50And on top of it, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, which means the U.S. Commerce Minister, Howard
00:55Lutnik files a statement in the U.S. Court of International Trade
00:59in a court
01:02statement. It's like an affidavit saying that President Trump, it was
01:06President Trump's use of the trade instrument, the tariff instrument
01:10that forced India and Pakistan to stop the war,
01:14that forced India to stop Operation Sindhu. But the Prime Minister is silent.
01:20Prime Minister has not responded to what President Trump has been saying
01:23and his colleagues have been saying. He's targeting the Congress Party. He should be targeting Pakistan.
01:28He should be making sure that the terrorists responsible for Pahil Gaam are caught or they're
01:34killed. I mean, these are terrorists who, according to some reports, were responsible for terror
01:41attacks in December 23 in Poonch and October 24 in Gandharbal, Gagangir and in Gulwar.
01:47So instead of that, you're attacking the Congress Party. The Congress Party is asked for,
01:53has demanded, has advocated, has championed unity and solidarity at a moment of great crisis
01:59beginning April 22nd. And we have extended our full support to the government. And we've all,
02:04we have said as Prime Minister, chair an all-party meeting.
02:08Prime Minister, please call a session of Parliament.
02:10And I think the revelations of General Chauhan yesterday in Singapore makes our demand even
02:18more relevant now. Let's have a discussion in Parliament. Let's have a discussion in an
02:23all-party meeting and let's move forward.
