New Delhi [India], July 27 : Congress MP Jairam Ramesh took a jibe at the Centre over US President Donald Trump "for the 26th time" claiming to have brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Sharing President Trump's X post on Saturday, Ramesh mentioned that while mediating between Cambodia and Thailand, Trump again claimed that the US arbitrated between India and Pakistan.
"President Trump is now mediating between Cambodia and Thailand and is using the opportunity to make the claim - for the 26th time - on a US-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan," Jairam Ramesh wrote.
As the border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia enters its fourth day, US President Donald Trump, once again jumping on his trade bandwagon, called for a ceasefire after holding calls with the heads of state of both nations, while drawing parallels to the India-Pakistan conflict.
According to a series of posts on Truth Social on Saturday (local time), the US President has once again leveraged trade negotiations in order to broker a ceasefire and peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand.
He drew an analogy, remarking that this conflict "very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt."
Jairam Ramesh's remarks come amid Congress' continuous attack against the Centre over the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.
Earlier on Saturday, Ramesh lashed out at the Modi government, alleging "failure" of Indian diplomacy, and said that the Prime Minister's friendship with US President Donald Trump was "proving to be hollow".
"The PM's clean chit to China on June 19, 2020, has already cost India heavily. His much-boasted friendship with President Trump is now proving to be hollow," Ramesh, Congress (General Secretary) incharge of Communications, posted on X.
"The abject failure of Indian diplomacy, especially in the past two months, is revealed most tellingly by four facts. These expose the tall claims made by the Prime Minister and his drum-beaters and cheerleaders. Since May 10, 2025, President Trump has claimed 25 times that he personally intervened to stop Operation Sindoor, threatening India and Pakistan that if they didn't bring the war to a halt, they would not have a trade agreement with the USA," Ramesh said.
