Cong demands Modi’s statement in House on Trump’s ‘five jets shot down’ claim

New Delhi (TIP)- US President Donald Trump once again repeating his claims about the India-Pakistan conflict, the Congress on Saturday, July 19, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should now himself make a clear and categorical statement in Parliament on the American leader’s claims over the last 70 days.
The opposition party’s assertion came after Trump said “five jets were shot down” during the conflict between India and Pakistan in May and repeated his assertion that the fighting ended following his intervention.
The US president did not specify whether the jets were lost by either of the two countries or whether he was referring to the combined losses by both sides.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said just two days before the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins, “the Trump missile gets fired” for the 24th time with the same two messages.
He pointed out that Trump has again stated that the US stopped the war between India and Pakistan, two countries that have nuclear weapons.
The US President also reiterated his remarks that there would be no trade deal if the war continued, he said.
Trump stated that if India and Pakistan want a trade agreement with the US, they have to agree to an immediate ceasefire, Ramesh pointed out.
“The sensational new revelation by President Trump this time around is that five jets may have been downed,” Ramesh said.
