Congress takes a dig at Centre as Trump repeats ‘India-Pakistan peace’ claim for the ‘58th time’
Why it matters
On November 6, 2025, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his repeated claims of having mediated peace between India and Pakistan. Ramesh pointed out that Trump has made this assertion 58 times since May 10, 2025, when he first announced a ceasefire following Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan. During a speech at the America Business Forum in Miami, Trump recounted how he threatened to withdraw trade deals unless both nations agreed to peace, claiming this led to a cessation of hostilities. Ramesh's remarks underscore the absurdity of Trump's claims, especially as India has consistently rejected any suggestion of third-party intervention in its relations with Pakistan. The ongoing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors remain a critical issue in regional politics.
