Strong Criticism of Indian Prime Minister After War with Pakistan and U.S. Role in Ceasefire
Islamabad-Following the recent military clashes between India and Pakistan, India’s opposition Congress party has harshly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what it calls a failure in war and his acceptance of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
Weezharoz-On April 22, 2025, a terrorist attack in the Pahalgam region of Indian-administered Kashmir resulted in 26 deaths.
India blamed the attack on Pakistan-based militant groups and launched “Operation Sandur” in retaliation, targeting areas in Pakistan such as Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad through air and missile strikes.
Pakistan’s Response
In retaliation, Pakistan initiated “Operation Bonyan Mursas” and struck Indian military targets.
The exchanges resulted in casualties and material losses on both sides, raising fears of a wider conflict.
U.S. Mediation in Ceasefire
On May 10, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan had agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States.
The announcement sparked diverse reactions in India.
Domestic Criticism in India
India’s Congress party demanded that Prime Minister Modi clarify the circumstances of the U.S. mediation and explain why India required external intervention.
Military analysts, including Sushant Singh, labeled the move a “diplomatic failure” and a sign of weakness in India’s foreign policy.
Conclusion
The recent India-Pakistan conflict and America’s role in ending it have triggered intense political debate in India.
Critics of Modi’s government are calling for greater transparency and accountability in the country’s foreign and security policy.
