‘Narendra … Surrender’: Rahul Gandhi in Swipe at Modi on Trump’s Claims of Mediating Ceasefire

1 day ago 6

Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (June 3) took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “surrendering” to US President Donald Trump’s call for a ceasefire during the military conflict with Pakistan last month. Addressing Congress workers in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, Gandhi said that Trump called Modi and said, “Narendra … surrender”, which led the prime minister to follow the US president’s instructions. “I now know the BJP-RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] people very well. Apply a little pressure on them and they get scared. Trump made a signal, picked up the phone and asked Modi ‘what are you doing? Narendra … surrender’. Aur, ji hazoor karke, Narendra Modi ji ne Trump ke ishaare ka paalan kiya. (‘Saying yes sir, Modi followed Trump’s instructions’),” said Gandhi. Gandhi’s remarks come amid growing calls from the opposition for a special session of parliament to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and subsequent developments, including Trump’s claims of having mediated the ceasefire between India and Pakistan that ended the four-day long military conflict on May 10. “You may recall a time when not a phone call but the Seventh Fleet had come with weapons and aircraft carriers. Indira Gandhi said ‘I will do what I have to do’. This is the difference,” said Gandhi referring to the 1971 India-Pakistan war. “This is their character. All of them are similar. From the time of the independence struggle, they have had the habit of writing surrendering letters. A little pressure of even a second and they give up. This is their character. The Congress party does not surrender. Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru – they are not the people to surrender. They are the ones to fight superpowers.” #rahulgandhi #operationsindoor #congress #bjp #modi #rahulgandhispeech #trump #indiapakistan Join The Wire's Youtube Membership and get exclusive content, member-only emojis, live interaction with The Wire's founders, editors and reporters and much more.
