New Delhi [India], October 30 (ANI): Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on Thursday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of remaining silent after US President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.

Speaking to ANI, Shrinate asked why PM Modi does not call Trump and tell him he is lying, despite his repeated claims.

'Donald Trump has said 61 times that he is the one who did the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He also said that seven jets were shot down. Why is this country's Prime Minister silent? The Prime Minister of this country congratulated Trump in eight languages for the Gaza ceasefire, but he couldn't utter a single word. Why doesn't he call Trump by name and say, Trump, you're lying...Indira Gandhi looked America in the eye and said I will tear Pakistan into two pieces,' the Congress leader said.

This comes after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday again claimed that he intervened to stop a potential war between India and Pakistan following India's Operation Sindoor.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEOs Luncheon in Gyeongju, South Korea, Trump claimed that his mediation had prevented hostilities between the two nuclear-armed nations earlier this year.

Earlier today, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comparing him to former PM Indira Gandhi, citing the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

Addressing a public gathering in Bihar's Nalanda, Rahul said that during the 1971 war, Indira Gandhi did not fear or bow before the United States, whereas Prime Minister Modi neither has a 'vision' nor the 'ability' to stand up to the US President Donald Trump.

'During the 1971 war in the Bangladesh struggle, America sent its aircraft and navy to intimidate and threaten India. Indira Gandhi, who was the Prime Minister, said we are not afraid of your navy, do what you must, we will do what we must,' Gandhi said.

'Indira Gandhi was a woman, but she had more guts than this man. Narendra Modi is cowardly. He has neither a vision nor the ability to stand up to the President of America. I challenge him: if Narendra Modi has the courage, then at any meeting in Bihar, he should say that the President of America is lying and that he (PM Modi) did not bow to him and that he did not stop Operation Sindoor. He cannot do that,' Rahul Gandhi said. (ANI)
