India’s opposition leaders have reacted strongly to US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a truce between India and Pakistan, raising concerns about the Indian government’s diplomatic approach, strategy, and the role of a foreign leader in drawing the curtain on the conflict.
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Congress and the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, spearheaded the campaign by demanding an urgent special session of the parliament, The News reported.
Gandhi, in his letter to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mentioned the Trump-announced truce, Operation Sindoor, and the recent Pahalgam terror incident as issues that require immediate action. Highlighting the importance of accountability and legislative debate, Gandhi said: “This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead.”
The Indian National Congress reiterated this call in a social media post citing his letter: “Rahul Gandhi writes to PM Modi, reiterating the unanimous request of the Opposition to convene a special session of parliament immediately to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and the India-Pakistan ceasefire, first announced by US President Trump.”
