New Delhi: In a no-holds-barred attack, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to call US President Donald Trump a liar. Gandhi reminded that Trump claimed 29 times that he had stopped the war between India and Pakistan, PTI reported.
Flaying the PM Modi and the BJP-led Centre, Gandhi accused Modi of using the armed forces to protect his image after the Pahalgam attack.
"If Modi ji has even 50 per cent of the courage that Indira Gandhi had, then clearly he must say in Parliament - Donald Trump is lying," he said.
"This is a very dangerous time, and we can't afford a Prime Minister who lacks the courage to utilise the army the way it has to be used. We can't afford a Prime Minister who doesn't have the guts to say from here that Donald Trump is a liar, that he didn't stop India from fighting and is lying about the planes," Gandhi said.
He said India need a Prime Minister who frees the Army, Air Force and Navy and tells them -- 'Go, finish the job", much like what Indira Gandhi did.
Gandhi also said that if the government had listened to his statement in the Lok Sabha a few months ago on China and Pakistan fusing together, they would "not have lost five aircraft" during Operation Sindoor.
Participating in a special discussion in Lok Sabha on "India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam", he claimed the government revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan, soon after it was launched.
Gandhi said this government is clueless about what deterrence and political will mean, and gave Indira Gandhi's example when Pakistan was broken into two parts in 1971.
"I said in this House, three-four months back, and they laughed at me. I said, please understand that India's biggest foreign policy challenge has been to keep Pakistan and China separate. And I said here that I am sad to say that you have destroyed the single biggest goal of foreign policy. China and Pakistan are fused," Gandhi said.
He said that what happened during Operation Sindoor is that the government of India thought it was fighting Pakistan, but soon realised that they were fighting China and Pakistan both.
