Rahul Gandhi Full Speech: Does Modi Have Courage to Call Trump a Liar? Op. Sindoor Debate

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern. #RahulGandhi #Modi #Trump #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireClaim #TradeDeal #TrumpModi #CongressVsBJP #ModiSpeech #TrumpLies #LokSabha #PoliticalDrama #USIndiaRelations #ForeignMediation #ModiUnderFire #RahulVsModi #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #PMModi #RahulAttacksModi #IndiaPolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #TradePressure #ModiTrumpDeal #CongressAllegations #TrumpCeasefire #RahulPressMeet #ModiSpeechMissing #ParliamentDebate #CeasefireRow Also Read PM Modi Government Puts Tamil on the Global Map Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pm-modi-government-puts-tamil-nadu-on-the-global-map-like-never-before-7819081.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Rigging Allegations, Says Election Process Is Over :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-doubles-down-on-rigging-allegations-says-election-process-is-over-011-7818825.html?ref=DMDesc Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

The GST Council’s decision was unanimous, with no state opposing the revision. According to the Finance Minister, the changes focus on the main drivers of the economy while making goods of daily use more affordable for ordinary citizens.
