In a strong and clear statement, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has completely rejected the notion that the United States played any role in the recent ceasefire between Pakistan and India. According to Indian media reports, Misri made these remarks while briefing a parliamentary committee on Monday, asserting that the ceasefire was a “completely bilateral decision” made solely between Islamabad and New Delhi.
“Trump Wanted the Spotlight—He Just Took It”: Misri
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told lawmakers that U.S. President Donald Trump had no influence or involvement in facilitating the ceasefire agreement.
“Trump did not seek our permission to intervene. He just wanted to come on stage himself—and he did,” Misri reportedly stated.
He also downplayed international concerns regarding nuclear escalation in the region, saying the conflict remained within the boundaries of a conventional war, and there was “no evidence of a nuclear threat or signal” from Pakistan.
Questions on Indian Aircraft Losses Go Unanswered
During the high-level briefing, the parliamentary committee persistently questioned how many Indian aircraft were lost during the latest conflict with Pakistan. However, Misri declined to answer, citing national security concerns.
This silence has sparked public curiosity and concern, especially given the rising tension and spread of misinformation across various media platforms.
Pakistan Rejects Indian Media Claims on Missile Use
Earlier the same day, Pakistan’s Foreign Office dismissed Indian media reports that claimed the use of the Shaheen missile during recent hostilities.
“These claims are baseless and fabricated, and designed to mislead the public,” said the spokesperson.
Pakistan confirmed that the weapons used during the operation included Fatah F-1 and F-2 missiles, long-range artillery, and advanced drones, as detailed in an ISPR press release dated May 12.
False Video Removed, But Propaganda Continues
After the Indian military removed a controversial video regarding missile use, Indian media continued to circulate false claims, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Office. Notably, the Indian military has neither clarified nor officially denied the video’s contents.
The spokesperson labeled the misinformation campaign as an effort to divert attention from the failure of India’s “Operation Sundoor” and to falsely associate Pakistan with nuclear blackmail.
Human Interest Angle: Citizens Caught Between Propaganda and Peace
While top officials in both countries exchange strong statements, millions of citizens on both sides of the border remain anxious and confused. The conflicting media narratives, combined with unanswered questions and lack of transparency, have made it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction.
With global eyes watching South Asia, public demand for clarity, peace, and responsible journalism continues to grow.
