“Modi ji, what is the truth about the 5 [jets]? The country has the right to know”, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X, slamming the prime minister, who has been under severe criticism from the opposition after India’s failure in brief war with Pakistan.

Islamabad responded firmly to New Delhi’s unprovoked strikes, and a ceasefire was brokered days later following US intervention on May 10.
Trump, in his remarks during a dinner with some Republican US lawmakers at the White House, said: “In fact, planes were being shot out of the air. Five, five, four or five, but I think five jets were shot down actually.”
Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan that he announced on social media on May 10 after Washington held talks with both sides
