Congress MP Jairam Ramesh has been accused by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of peddling falsehoods regarding the telephonic conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump. The BJP spokesperson, Amit Malviya, claimed that Ramesh's statement about the Foreign Secretary's statement not matching the U.S. readout is false, as the readout Ramesh is referring to is from January 2025, and there is no official U.S. release yet on the latest call. The conversation between Modi and Trump took place in relation to Operation Sindoor, a military operation launched by India on terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK.
