Ex-Foreign Secretary Sibal Comments on India-Pakistan Relations
A former Indian diplomat, Kanwal Sibal, believes it's not useful for India's opposition to ask about Operation Sindoor right now because Pakistan won't admit to any losses.
He says Pakistan's offer to talk is just a trick to make India look bad.
Sibal also disagrees with the idea that the Indian government is the reason China and Pakistan are working together, as it's been happening for a long time.
He also thinks Donald Trump is exaggerating his role in any ceasefire efforts to make himself look good.
Former Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal says questioning Operation Sindoor gives Pakistan leverage.
Sibal dismisses Pakistan's offer of talks, citing India's stance on terrorism.
He refutes Rahul Gandhi's claim of a China-Pakistan alliance against India as 'nonsense'.
Sibal criticizes Donald Trump's claims of brokering an India-Pakistan ceasefire.
He argues against severing ties with countries that supported Pakistan during the conflict.
