Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday responded to opposition leaders' repeated questions about why US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Without naming Donald Trump, PM Modi said that "no leader from the world asked India to stop its military operation against terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir."
"No country in the world has stopped India from any action in its defence against terrorism. Only three countries spoke in favour of Pakistan at the UN," the prime minister said.
Recalling the night of May 9, PM Modi said that US Vice President JD Vance called 3-4 times, but he was not able to pick his call as, the PM said, he was busy in meetings with the armed forces. "When I returned the call, US Vice President warned me of a big attack from Pakistan," the prime minister said.

PM Modi further said that he told JD Vance that India's response would be much bigger if Pakistan again attacks India. "My answer was that if Pakistan has this intention, it will cost them a lot. If Pakistan attacks, we will respond by launching a big attack," PM Modi added.
Slamming Congress for not supporting the Indian Armed Forces after Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said that while the nation got support from the entire world, the Congress and its allies could not stand behind the valour of the nation's soldiers.
"India got support from the entire world, but it is unfortunate that the Congress did not support the valour of our soldiers. Congress leaders targeted me for political gains, but their frivolous statements ended up discouraging our brave soldiers," he said.

"The Congress and its allies have unfortunately become spokespersons of Pakistani propaganda. India is becoming self-reliant, but Congress is now dependent on Pakistan for issues. The entire country is amazed to see Congress give a clean chit to Pakistan and sing the same tune as theirs," he added.
The prime minister further noted that India called out Pakistan's nuclear bluff and showed the world that "we will not bow down to nuclear blackmail". "Our operations range from Sindoor to Sindhu (Indus Waters Treaty). Pakistan knows they have to pay a huge price for any misadventure. Terror attacks were launched earlier and the masterminds of attacks knew nothing would happen, but now they know India will come for them," he said.
