New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised serious questions regarding the ceasefire declaration between India and Pakistan made by U.S. President Donald Trump. Senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, in a press conference held on Sunday, termed this declaration as a direct assault on India’s sovereignty. He emphasized that while the Indian Army was destroying terrorist bases in Pakistan, the announcement of a ceasefire by the U.S. was unjustifiable.
A Missed Opportunity Due to Ceasefire Declaration: Sanjay Singh
Sanjay Singh highlighted that the Indian Army had a rare opportunity to take decisive action on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) and potentially separate Balochistan from Pakistan. However, he claimed this historic opportunity was lost when Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepted U.S. mediation.
“Third-Party Mediation Against India’s Policy”
Sanjay Singh pointed out that for the last 70 years, India has never accepted third-party mediation in matters related to Pakistan. He argued that India’s sovereignty and decision-making autonomy should not be compromised, and the country is fully capable of taking its own decisions.
Pahalgam Attack: When Will Action Be Taken Against Those Who Destroyed Our Sisters’ Vermillion?
Sanjay Singh referred to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, where 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were brutally killed. He questioned why no action had been taken against the terrorists who carried out the attack and desecrated the vermillion of innocent women. He demanded an answer from the Prime Minister on the progress of the investigation and the steps being taken to hold the terrorists accountable.
Saluting Indian Army’s Bravery, but Questions Remain
Sanjay Singh praised the bravery of the Indian Army, which destroyed nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and killed over 100 terrorists. He mentioned that the operation “Sindoor” had a clear objective of destroying 21 terrorist bases. However, the ceasefire halted the mission prematurely, leaving unresolved questions about the fate of the terrorists who targeted innocent civilians.
Why Did India Succumb to U.S. Pressure?
AAP leaders raised concerns over the Indian government’s acceptance of the U.S.-declared ceasefire without clarity. Sanjay Singh pointed out that the terms of the ceasefire were not made clear to the Indian public, asking if this was an infringement on India’s sovereignty and self-respect.
“Will India Now Follow America’s Orders?”
Sanjay Singh took issue with President Trump’s comments calling Pakistan a “great country.” He questioned if Prime Minister Modi also considered Pakistan, a nation that shelters terrorists, as “great.” He further questioned if India would now establish trade relations with Pakistan, a country that had failed to honor even a temporary ceasefire.
AAP Demands Special Session of Parliament for Clarity
Concluding the press conference, Sanjay Singh called for a special session of Parliament to be convened where the Prime Minister should explain the reasons behind agreeing to the ceasefire and provide transparency about the terms. He also urged the Prime Minister to address the public’s concerns about the national security situation.
