<h1>Opposition demands PM deny US mediation claims, urges transparency on India-Pakistan ceasefire talks</h1> The opposition party criticized the Prime Minister for not explicitly denying the US President's repeated claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, suggesting the Prime Minister is avoiding confrontation to prevent the US President from revealing inconvenient truths. The opposition contended that the government's vague responses and failure to reject the mediation claims outright indicate a lack of transparency and possible concealment of facts. They urged the Prime Minister to categorically state that the US President's statements are false, emphasizing that India's official position rejects third-party mediation in such matters. The US President also mentioned potential increases in US tariffs on India, which the opposition linked to pressure tactics related to trade negotiations. The government maintained that the ceasefire was achieved through direct military talks between India and Pakistan, denying any third-party involvement.
