India, July 29 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday shut down United States President Donald Trump's claim that he brokered the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan.

"No leader in the world asked India to stop military action," PM Modi said during the debate on Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha.

The Prime Minister said that he received a call from United States Vice-President J D Vance on the night of May 9. "Vance tried to contact me for an hour, but I was in a meeting with the army. I could not pick the call," Modi said.

Modi said that when he returned the call, Vance told him that Pakistan was planning a major attack. "My answer was: If this is Pakistan's intention, it will pay a heavy price," Modi said.
