The Indian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, was left speechless! The leader of the Indian National Congress demanded that the Modi government must disclose the truth! According to the Hindustan Times on May 24th, despite the Modi government's announcement of victory, the leader of India's largest opposition party - the Indian National Congress - fired three consecutive questions at the Indian Foreign Minister, leaving him completely dumbfounded!
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Congress, said, firstly, please clarify for us, Foreign Minister Jaishankar, who requested U.S. President Donald Trump to mediate between India and Pakistan. Secondly, why were India and Pakistan linked together? Why did no country support us in condemning Pakistan? Has India's diplomacy collapsed? Thirdly, why have details not been disclosed regarding the missing Indian aircraft reportedly involved in the Indian surgical strike?
Rahul Gandhi said, why are you tongue-tied, Jaishankar? Your silence not only indicates a problem but also proves it beyond doubt. I will ask again: how many Indian aircraft have we lost? This is not a mistake but a crime. Our country deserves to know the truth. Clearly, in the face of these three consecutive questions from the opposition, the usually eloquent Indian Foreign Minister was left speechless.
The meaning of the Indian National Congress is clear: if the Modi government has publicized victory, what reason does India have to request the United States to mediate? This is not proving that India cannot dominate the situation? And the Modi government insisted that the attack on India was supported by Pakistan-based terrorists. By rights, the international community should support India and condemn Pakistan. But why did the major countries not take India's side?
Clearly, this, in reverse, shows that the Modi government's determination regarding Pakistan's support for terrorism has serious problems. Even more embarrassing for the Modi government is the question about how many aircraft India has actually lost. Jaishankar's silence seems to prove that the Modi government's methods of covering up information have not easily passed muster within India either. Undoubtedly, escalating the conflict, the Modi government may have paid a higher price than imagined.
