The party wondered if PM Modi had accepted American mediation on the Kashmir issue.Donald Trump claimed that his administration stopped a "nuclear conflict" between the two countries by telling them the US would do a “lot of trade” if they ended the hostilities. Trump's remark came minutes before PM Modi's address.In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The prime minister, his drumbeaters, and his apologists should answer.”"The prime minister's much-delayed address to the nation was completely upstaged by President Trump's revelations a few minutes earlier. The prime minister was completely silent on them. Has India agreed to US mediation? Has India agreed to a 'neutral site' for a dialogue with Pakistan? Will India give in to US demands for opening Indian markets in autos, agriculture, and other areas?" Ramesh asked.Also read: Donald Trump says US prevented ‘bad nuclear war’ between India and PakistanJairam Ramesh said PM Modi should chair a meeting with the leaders of all political parties."The months ahead will demand both painstaking diplomacy and a collective resolve.

But the prime minister has still much to answer for," Ramesh added.Also read: Won’t tolerate nuclear blackmail, terror, talks can’t go together: PM ModiPawan Khera, the Congress's media department head, said the US president's statement was "disturbing"."We need a clarification from the government of India on whether this operation was stopped due to trade," Khera said."We want to know on what terms mediation was done. Why did you not respond to what Donald Trump said about Kashmir? There are several questions in the minds of the country, and there is a need for a collective resolve.
