On Saturday morning, President Trump announced a new ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, claiming it was brokered by the United States. However, India's Ministry of Information quickly refuted this, stating that the ceasefire negotiations were conducted directly between the two nations. The Pakistani Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) was credited with initiating this dialogue. Trump's assertion on Truth Social contrasted sharply with India's official stance, indicating a struggle over the narrative of the ceasefire's origins amidst escalating tensions in the region.
Trump's early morning post stated, 'After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence.' This highlights his attempt to take credit for the ceasefire negotiations.
India's Ministry of Information refuted Trump's claims by stating that the ceasefire was negotiated directly between India and Pakistan, emphasizing that the discussions initiated by the Pak DGMO led to the understanding.
The Ministry of Information tweeted, '.@MEAIndia announces that stoppage of firing & military action between India and Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries. There is no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any other place.' This statement underscored India's position on the matter.
