Rahul Gandhi challenges Modi to refute Trump's claim of Indian jets being downed

(Web Desk) - In a fiery speech in the Lok Sabha, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi tore apart the baseless claims of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government.

According to Indian media, Rahul Gandhi challenged Modi, saying, "If there was no ceasefire and the Pakistan Air Force did not shoot down Indian aircraft, then stand up in the Lok Sabha and declare that Trump is lying."

Taking aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi further stated, "If you have the courage, stand up in Parliament right now and refute the statement of the American President."

He added that if Modi possesses the courage of Indira Gandhi, he should speak the truth and, instead of misleading the nation, honestly reveal what happened during the war with Pakistan.

It is noteworthy that during the Lok Sabha session, members of the assembly exposed the Modi government's so-called "Operation Sindoor."

Opposition MPs criticized PM Modi for concealing human and financial losses in the war with Pakistan, avoiding the truth, employing failed strategies, and damaging India's reputation on the global stage.

It may be recalled that US President Trump has once again reiterated that he stopped the India-Pakistan war. However, the Modi government rejected Trump’s claim, stating that the ceasefire was achieved not through American mediation but during a meeting of the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs).
