His remarks got here after India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to cease all firings and navy actions on land, air and sea, with speedy impact after 4 days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
In a put up on X, he stated, “The Indian National Congress reiterates its demand for an all-party meet chaired by the PM and for a special session of Parliament for a full discussion on Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor, and the ceasefire announcements made from Washington DC first and then subsequently by the Governments of India and Pakistan”.
Ramesh stated the Congress considers that the point out of “neutral site” by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for dialogue between India and Pakistan raises many questions.
“Have we abandoned the Simla Agreement? Have we opened the doors to third-party mediation?” he requested “The Indian National Congress would like to ask if diplomatic channels between India and Pakistan are being reopened? What commitments have we sought and got?,” he requested.
The Ministry of Data and Broadcasting on Saturday stated there was no choice to carry talks on every other situation at every other place.
This assertion got here after US Secretary of State Rubio stated “the governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.” The Congress chief additionally referred to reported remarks of two former military chiefs V P Malik and Manoj Narwane on the understanding reached between India and Pakistan, and stated they demand solutions from the prime minister himself.
