PM Modi clarified the scene on ceasefire
It is worth noting that when India responded to Pakistan’s Pahalgam attack under Operation Sindoor, President Trump kept taking credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Trump publicly said from many platforms that he brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan citing trade.
The Foreign Secretary, citing the conversation between PM Modi and Trump, said that PM Modi talked to President Trump in detail about Operation Sindoor. PM Modi clearly told Trump that after April 22, India had told the whole world about its determination to take action against terrorism.
PM Modi said that on the night of 6-7 May, India had targeted only terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India’s actions were very measured, precise and non-escalatory. India also made it clear that India will respond to Pakistan’s bullets with shells.
In the conversation, PM Modi clarified everything about the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. PM Modi said that on the night of 9 May, Vice President Vance had called Prime Minister Modi. Vice President Vance had said that Pakistan can launch a big attack on India.
Prime Minister Modi told him in clear words that if this happens, then India will give an even bigger reply to Pakistan. India gave a very strong reply to Pakistan’s attack on the night of 9-10 May and caused a lot of damage to the Pakistani army. Its military airbases were rendered inoperable.
PM Modi told President Trump that due to India’s befitting reply, Pakistan had to request India to stop military action.
Prime Minister Modi clearly told President Trump that during this entire incident, at no level, were there any talks on topics like India-US trade deal or mediation by America between India and Pakistan.
Ceasefire was discussed between India-Pakistan Army, Pakistan had requested

It is worth mentioning that US President Donald Trump once again said on June 13 that he can solve any problem. On a question about the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan, Trump said that there has been a long-standing enmity between the two countries. He will bring the two countries together. Trump’s statement came when White House spokesperson T Bruce, on a question about the US President’s intervention in the Kashmir issue, said that he can do anything.
