NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a recent address to Parliament, revealed that U.S. Vice President JD Vance had warned him of a possible major attack by Pakistan following India’s counter-terror operation in response to the Pahalgam incident.
Modi recounted that on the night of May 9, Vice President Vance repeatedly attempted to contact him. “I couldn’t take the call initially, but when I called back, Vance told me that Pakistan was planning a major strike against India,” Modi stated.
In response to the alert, Modi said he reached out to U.S. President Donald Trump and requested assistance in securing a ceasefire. Trump, he claimed, subsequently contacted Pakistan to help defuse the situation.
Despite this admission, Modi has continued to promote what critics are calling a “fabricated narrative” under the label Operation Sindoor, portraying India’s actions as a decisive success.
Opposition parties and political observers have strongly criticized Modi’s approach, accusing his government of misleading the public and reframing a potential crisis as a military victory. Analysts say the admission undermines Modi’s aggressive rhetoric and raises serious questions about transparency and accountability in matters of national security.
