China's war mediation claim concerning, PM must respond: Congress
Dec-31-2025

Congress has sought clarification from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's claim that China intervened to stop the India-Pakistan war. 

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that the Prime Minister’s silence is extremely worrying and raises serious questions about national security. 

Jairam Ramesh said, President Trump has long claimed that he personally intervened to halt Operation Sindoor on May 10, 2025. He has done so on 65 different occasions in various forums in at least seven different countries. The Prime Minister has never broken his silence on these claims made by his so-called good friend’. 

Ramesh added, ‘Now the Chinese foreign minister makes a similar claim and says China also mediated. On July 4, 2025, the Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen Rahul Singh had publicly stated that during Operation Sindoor, India was actually confronting and combating China. Given that China was decisively aligned with Pakistan, Chinese claims of having mediated between India and Pakistan are concerning - not just because they directly contradict what the people of country have been led to believe, but because they seem to make a joke of national security itself’.

Congress general secretary further said that the statement must be understood in the context of India's relationship with China. He also claimed that New Delhi's re-engagement with Beijing has been on Chinese terms.

The Congress leader said trade deficit is at a record high, and much of the country's exports are dependent on imports from China. He also added that Provocative actions by China in relation to Arunachal Pradesh continue unabated.

This comes after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday said tensions between India and Pakistan were among a list of hot issues mediated by China this year.

New Delhi has been maintaining that the May 7-10 conflict between India and Pakistan was resolved through direct talks between the DGMOs (Director General of Military Operations) of the armies of the two countries. India has also been consistently maintaining that there is no place for any third-party intervention in matters relating to India and Pakistan.
