Shah Slams Congress For Not Trusting Jaishankar's Statement

Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday slammed the Congress for not trusting the statement of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Operation Sindoor and instead believing US President Donald Trump, and said that is why it is sitting in the opposition and will remain there for 20 more years."They (opposition) do not have faith in the minister of external affairs who has taken oath as a member of the Indian government. They trust some other country. I know the importance of foreign (opinion) in their party, but it does not mean that they should impose this view on Parliament," he said in a brief intervention in the Lok Sabha when Jaishankar was speaking during the discussion on Operation Sindoor.

Jaishankar has taken oath as a minister and is responsible for what he is saying, Shah said.

The external affairs minister asserted that at no stage in any conversation with the US was there any linkage of trade with Operation Sindoor, and the request for halting the military action came from the Pakistani side through the DGMO channel.
