Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has pressed Prime Minister Modi to clarify US President Donald Trump’s assertion that “five jets were shot down” during India’s Operation Sindoor in early May. Gandhi posted on X, “Modi ji, what is the truth about the five jets? The country has the right to know!” He criticized Modi for not addressing Trump’s repeated claims during the upcoming Monsoon Session starting July 21. Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, echoed the call for transparency. India maintains the ceasefire was reached via direct military talks, while conflicting versions persist—Pakistan claims it downed three Rafales; India admits unspecified aircraft losses.
