Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Parliament on Operation Sindoor, asserting that Pakistan had pleaded for a ceasefire and that no world leader had asked India to halt its counter-terror offensive.
He underlined that India’s operation had global support — except from three countries.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, challenged the government’s handling of the operation, accused it of showing political weakness, and called on Modi to publicly refute former US President Donald Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire.
According to various reports, Modi told the Lok Sabha that from the outset, India had made it clear the action was non-escalatory, and maintained that no global leader had called for a halt. He also claimed that Pakistan had asked for the offensive to stop, saying they could no longer withstand the assault. According to the PM, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations pleaded with his Indian counterpart for a ceasefire, using the words: “Bas karo, bahut maara hai.”
Speaking about the operation itself, Modi said Pakistan had issued nuclear threats after the Pahalgam attack, but India responded decisively. He recalled that on the night of May 6–7, Indian forces launched an operation “the way we wanted,” and in just 22 minutes, avenged the April 22 attack.
Responding to concerns about international reactions, Modi said only three of 193 nations supported Pakistan, and that no country asked India to hold back. He claimed the world understood India’s right to defend itself.
The Prime Minister also described his interaction with US Vice President JD Vance on the night of May 9. Modi said he had missed multiple calls while in a meeting with military officials, but returned the call later. Vance reportedly warned of a possible major Pakistani attack. Modi told Parliament that his response was unequivocal — that if Pakistan attacked, it would pay a heavy price. He added: “Hum goli ke jawab gola se denge.”
He further stated that on May 10, India dismantled much of Pakistan’s military capacity. Modi said Pakistan now understands that each Indian response will be more severe than the last and that Operation Sindoor remains ongoing.
He outlined three takeaways from the operation: India would respond to terror on its own terms and timeline; nuclear blackmail would no longer deter it; and governments that support terror would be treated the same as the terrorists themselves.
Meanwhile, the opposition kept up its attack. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge questioned why India had accepted a ceasefire if it had the upper hand, and pointed out that the announcement had come from Trump, not from India’s political leadership.
Rahul Gandhi sharpened the critique. He questioned Modi’s silence on Trump’s repeated claims of mediating peace and dared him to refute it in Parliament. “Donald Trump said 29 times that he stopped the war. If PM has even 50 per cent of Indira Gandhi’s courage, he should stand up in Parliament and say ‘Donald Trump is lying, he never mediated any ceasefire,’” Gandhi was quoted as saying.
He alleged that India signalled a lack of political will by asking for a ceasefire just 30 minutes after launching the operation. Citing Defence Attaché Captain Shiv Kumar, Gandhi claimed that India lost aircraft during the operation because the military had been instructed not to hit Pakistan’s air defence systems — effectively tying the hands of Indian pilots.
Quoting Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Gandhi pointed out a timeline inconsistency: the operation began at 1:05 am and ended 22 minutes later — yet, by 1:35 am, India had allegedly informed Pakistan it had hit non-military targets and did not want escalation.
He further claimed that the Indian DGMO had been instructed to request a ceasefire that very night — a move Gandhi said exposed the government’s lack of political resolve.
“We do not need a Prime Minister who does not have the guts to say Donald Trump is a liar,” Gandhi said, concluding his speech. “Don’t let President Trump tell you that I stopped the war.”
