Recently, India’s Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar gave a strong and clear reply to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s statements. Trump had claimed that he stopped a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan. But Dr. Jaishankar, while speaking to international media in Europe, made it very clear – “The U.S. was in the United States.”
What Did Trump Claim?
Donald Trump said that during a serious situation between India and Pakistan, he got involved and stopped the war. He also said he gave a trade warning to India and then helped bring peace. He claimed he played a big role in reducing the tension between the two countries.
What Did Dr. Jaishankar Say?
Dr. Jaishankar completely denied Trump’s version. He said that the U.S. did not come to mediate or act as a middleman. America remained in America and did not play any direct role. Instead, it was Pakistan that reached out to India for a ceasefire. India paused its military action, called Operation Sindoor, on its own terms. The operation has not officially ended yet, it is only paused.
What Really Happened?
Dr. Jaishankar explained that no third country was involved. When Pakistan wanted the firing to stop, they had to directly call the Indian generals. Only after that, India decided to pause the military action.
He said clearly:
“If Pakistan wants the firing to stop, their generals must call our generals. And that’s what happened.”
Why Is This Statement Important?
This strong and confident reply from Dr. Jaishankar shows the world that India makes its own decisions. It also clears all the wrong claims made by Trump. India does not accept outside mediation on the India-Pakistan or Kashmir issue.
Even some American officials like John Bolton, former National Security Advisor of the U.S., said that Trump always likes to take credit for things. Trump wants to improve his image and maybe even win a Nobel Peace Prize, so he often says such things.
What Does This Mean for the Future?
Dr. Jaishankar’s reply shows that India is ready to answer such claims firmly and openly. It also shows that India’s stand on terrorism and peace is being shared strongly with Europe and the world. Dr. Jaishankar was on a tour of three European countries – Germany, Netherlands, and Denmark – to explain India’s position.
In the end, India told the world that peace talks or ceasefire decisions are taken by India alone, and if Pakistan wants peace, they must speak to India directly – not through any other country.
Conclusion:
Dr. Jaishankar’s statement has made it clear – India is capable of handling its own matters, and no one else can take credit for India’s decisions.
