Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, has launched a sharp attack on PM Narendra Modi over the government’s decision to agree to a ceasefire under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Raising a series of pointed questions, he questioned whether the ceasefire was a result of threats to halt trade and why India held back when it had the strategic advantage to capture Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and support Balochistan’s isolation from Pakistan.
The senior AAP leader also questioned the government’s failure to eliminate the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack, and challenged the logic of trusting Pakistan’s assurances when the ceasefire was violated just three hours later. Sanjay Singh has demanded that the Prime Minister convene a special session of Parliament and formally declare Pakistan a terrorist state.
During a press conference, AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh stated, “Today, 140 crore Indians are asking a serious question—did PM Narendra Modi compromise India’s sovereignty, pride, and honour because of US President Donald Trump’s threat to halt trade?”
He continued, “In Pahalgam, our sisters had their sindoor wiped away, and four Pakistani terrorists were named in the attack. The Indian government declared that not a single one would be spared, that they would be hunted down even inside Pakistan. The entire country stood firmly behind the government. All political parties openly supported this resolve, saying: go into Pakistan and finish them, not a single terrorist should escape. PoK is a hub of terrorism, and it is from here that terror is spread across Kashmir and the rest of India.”
Referring to the initial public sentiment and India’s military action, Sanjay Singh said, “The country spoke in one voice—that PoK must be taken back and Balochistan, where unrest is brewing, must be separated from Pakistan. Just as India carved Bangladesh out of Pakistan in 1971, the national sentiment was that Balochistan should also be liberated.”
He added, “Operation Sindoor was launched. We bow our heads in salute to the courage and valour of the Indian Army. On 7 May, our army demolished nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and killed over 100 terrorists and their aides. Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi not see the images of Pakistani army officers standing at the funerals of these terrorists? Pakistan was in mourning for the terrorists. Entire India felt proud watching the operation.”
Pointing to military momentum being undercut by political decisions, the AAP MP continued, “The Indian Army was continuously responding to Pakistan’s attacks, destroying their airbases and terrorist hideouts. The army identified 21 terrorist bases in Pakistan, and the entire country believed they would all be destroyed. In Rajouri and Poonch, 21 innocent Indians were killed. Our gurdwaras and temples were attacked.”
“The Indian Army responded in their language, inflicting ten times the damage. Our five brave soldiers lost their lives, and the nation bowed before the sacrifices of Havaldar Dinesh Sharma, Pawan Kumar, Imtiaz Ali, Sheikh Ali, and Suraj Yadav. When India had a chance to reclaim Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), to redraw the map and isolate Balochistan from Pakistan, when our soldiers were showcasing unmatched valour, PM Narendra Modi accepted Donald Trump’s mediation and announced a ceasefire,” he stated.
Clarifying who took the ceasefire decision, Sanjay Singh said, “The country must not remain in any confusion. It was no one else—it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself who announced the ceasefire. People must understand that no Foreign Secretary can make such an announcement. PM Modi’s devotees may lack the understanding and are now abusing the Foreign Secretary and his family, but the truth is—this decision was PM Modi’s.
He added, “In his address on Monday, PM Modi said Pakistan promised they would not carry out military misadventures or terrorist attacks, and only then did he consider a ceasefire. PM Modi is placing trust in Pakistan. Our sisters were folding hands before terrorists, pleading, ‘don’t kill our husbands, don’t erase our sindoor.’ But those bloodthirsty terrorists did not listen. Yet, PM Modi listened to the Pakistanis and gave in.”
Taking on the Prime Minister’s silence, Sanjay Singh posed tough questions, “Where are the four terrorists who desecrated the sindoor of our sisters in Pahalgam? How could the Prime Minister accept mediation by a third country? Pakistan is the epicentre and protector of global terror. Groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Lashkar-e-Omar, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Sipah-e-Sahaba, and Hizbul Mujahideen all operate from there. Yet PM Modi is trusting Pakistan.”
The AAP MP continued, “Meanwhile, Donald Trump is saying that India and Pakistan are both great and powerful nations, and that the US threatened to stop trade, forcing both sides into a ceasefire. The country feels ashamed that the Prime Minister, in his entire address, did not deny or refute a single line. India is the world’s fifth-largest economy. We have a glorious legacy. But President Trump dared to equate India with Pakistan, calling a bankrupt and broken Pakistan a powerful country—and PM Modi stayed silent.”
Criticising the Prime Minister’s silence, Sanjay Singh added, “Even Americans must have questioned Donald Trump for calling Pakistan a great country. This is the same Pakistan that sheltered Osama bin Laden and harbours terrorists. Americans must have been outraged — but not our Prime Minister. That’s why he hasn’t uttered a word.”
“On 10 May, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on ‘X’ that talks on the ceasefire had been going on for 48 hours. Was Prime Minister Modi in negotiations with JD Vance and Marco Rubio for two days? Marci Rubio even said he had spoken with PM Modi and Shehbaz Sharif. The Prime Minister must explain to the country why, while our Army was delivering a fitting response, he was engaged in backdoor negotiations with America,” he asked.
Condemning Donald Trump’s mention of Kashmir, Sanjay Singh said, “President Trump’s statement about resolving the Kashmir issue is extremely dangerous, and the Prime Minister must answer. Where did Kashmir come from in all this? In 1965-66 under Lal Bahadur Shastri, in 1972, 1975, and 1983 under Indira Gandhi, in 1978 under Morarji Desai, in 1987 and 1989 under Rajiv Gandhi, in 1990 under VP Singh, in 1991 under Chandrashekhar, in 1994 under PV Narasimha Rao, in 1996 under HD Deve Gowda, in 1997 under IK Gujral, in 1999, 2001, and 2003 under Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and in 2009 and 2010 under Manmohan Singh — the US repeatedly attempted mediation between India and Pakistan. And every Prime Minister of India firmly rejected it. Today, Narendra Modi has made President Trump the arbitrator, and now the US is openly claiming to be mediating in India-Pakistan matters.”
Putting forward five direct questions to the Prime Minister, Sanjay Singh asked, “When the Indian Army was in a position to take back PoK, destroy 21 terror camps, eliminate terrorists completely, and isolate Balochistan from Pakistan’s map, why did the Prime Minister declare a ceasefire at Trump’s insistence? Operation Sindoor began to avenge the attack on our sisters’ sindoor. The country wants to know: where are the four Pakistani terrorists responsible, and when will they be killed?”
“Donald Trump publicly claimed that he forced the ceasefire by threatening to stop trade with both countries. Everyone knows Pakistan is struggling to feed itself — what trade does it even have with the US? America has trade worth lakhs of crores with India. Did Donald Trump really pressure PM Modi with a trade threat to force a ceasefire?,” he further asked.
Sanjay Singh continued, “Donald Trump is calling Pakistan a great and powerful country. Shouldn’t the Prime Minister have publicly rebutted this? The country is demanding that he do so, and that he openly declare Pakistan a terrorist state. The Prime Minister should call a special session of Parliament — the entire opposition will support passing a resolution to officially declare Pakistan a terror state.”
Asking the fifth question, he stated, “PM Modi says Pakistan has assured no future terror attacks or military misadventures. Then how did Pakistan dare to launch a military provocation just three hours after the ceasefire announcement?”
He concluded, “Post-ceasefire, Pakistan violated the agreement by attacking in Gujarat, the Prime Minister’s home state, prompting the state Home Minister to hold an emergency meeting. J&K’s CM Omar Abdullah also confirmed ceasefire violations. Immediately after PM Modi’s address on Monday, Pakistan broke the ceasefire. An Indigo flight scheduled to land in Amritsar couldn’t do so due to a blackout. The Prime Minister must explain how, after the ceasefire, Pakistan dared to show such military audacity.”
