News India Live, Digital Desk: Former US President Donald Trump is always in the headlines for his outspoken and big words. But this time he has made a claim which has created a stir not only in America but also in the politics of India and Pakistan. During an interview (podcast), Trump referred to the period when tensions between India and Pakistan were at their peak, and claimed that if he had not intervened, a deadly nuclear war could have occurred.
“Pakistani PM said- You saved lakhs of lives”
Donald Trump told in the conversation that a Prime Minister of Pakistan (it is believed that he is referring to Imran Khan) had told him during his meeting, “You have saved the lives of at least 1 crore people.”
According to Trump, this incident happened at a time when the situation between India and Pakistan was “very delicate”. There are speculations that Trump is talking about the tension after the Balakot airstrike of 2019. At that time India was in a very aggressive mood and Pakistan was living in the shadow of fear.
India’s anger and that ‘secret’ call
Trump, in his characteristic style, said that he saw that “India was preparing to do something very big at that time.” He said that India was so angry that the existence of Pakistan was in danger. Then he called Bharat.
In social media and discussions, it is being linked to ‘operation’. Trump says that he pacified India a bit and gave a message to Pakistan to desist from its activities. He claimed that it was because of him that the “age-old feud” between the two countries did not turn into a major war that night.
What is the truth?
Well, Donald Trump is often known for exaggerating his achievements. But we all know that India’s stance after the Pulwama attack was very strict. From Abhinandan’s return to Balakot, India had shown the world that it is not going to remain silent.
This statement of Trump proves that at that time even the most powerful country in the world (America) was afraid that if the Modi government had given the ‘green signal’, the map of Pakistan could have changed. Now only they can know how much truth is there in Trump’s claim, but it has definitely sparked debate in the corridors of diplomacy.
