New Delhi, June 19 -- Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday took a swipe at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union government over US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of having 'stopped the war' between India and Pakistan last month.

The former Union Minister also mentioned US President Donald Trump's lunch meeting with Asim Munir and equating Pakistan's army chief and PM Modi as being 'helpful in stopping the war.'

"The story of 'who stopped the war' is getting curiouser and curiouse. 39 days after Mr Trump first claimed that he had mediated and stopped the war between India and Pakistan, Mr Modi told Mr Trump in a telephone call that 'India does not and will never accept mediation," Chidambaram said in a post on X.
