Has the government requested the US why Trump continues to say he brokered the ceasefire?

Within the Rajya Sabha, BJD member Sasmit Patra on 30 July, Wednesday, requested the federal government if it has formally engaged with the US administration to hunt readability on why President Donald Trump continues to make public references to negotiating India’s ceasefire with Pakistan.

Taking part in a particular dialogue on Operation Sindoor within the Higher Home, Patra — who was a part of an all-party delegation that went overseas to convey India’s place towards terrorism following the Pahalgam terrorist assault — mentioned that as an Indian, he accepts the federal government’s assertion that “there was no telephone name made by the President of america to the Indian prime minister between 22 April and 17 June 2025”.

“That in itself speaks to the autonomy and independence with which India carried out Operation Sindoor,” mentioned Patra, who visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia within the wake of Operation Sindoor as a member of an all-party delegation.

Nevertheless, he added, “However given this actuality, I ask with utmost sincerity, has India formally engaged with america administration to hunt readability on why the US president continues to make public references to a ceasefire — one wherein, by all [our] accounts, neither him nor his administration performed any energetic function.”

In response, Ashokrao Shankarrao Chavan of the BJP mentioned, “It’s stunning that the assertion of our nation’s prime minister will not be given any significance… They (the Opposition) consider in what Trump says however do not consider what our system says.”
