Congress Leader Shama Mohamed Questions Global Support For Pakistan Over India Post-Operation Sindoor

Amid India's diplomatic efforts to internationally isolate Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Congress leader Shama Mohamed stirred controversy on Sunday by asserting that "everybody is with Pakistan and not with India".

She pointed out that despite being a sponsor of terrorism, Islamabad continues to secure trade agreements and memorandums of understanding.

Shama Mohamed, who earlier this year sparked backlash for allegedly body-shaming Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma, also referenced former US President Donald Trump's repeated claim that he had helped mediate a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after four days of conflict. She said Trump now appears to be equating both nations.

"Trump has repeatedly said... 11 times now... that he has brought in the ceasefire. The Trump administration clearly said that we have imposed a trade embargo on Pakistan and India to get the ceasefire. He has put India and a ceasefire in the same basket. They are the perpetrators of terrorism, while we are their victims. After 26/11, the whole world was with us, now who is with us? Why is Pakistan getting deals and MoUs?... Why is everybody with Pakistan and not with India?" Mohamed told ANI.

Her remarks came as India continues to counter Pakistani narrative regarding Operation Sindoor. Several Indian delegations have been travelling globally to inform foreign governments about India's military action and Pakistan's cross-border terrorism.

In retaliation for the killing of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, India struck and destroyed nine terror camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Pakistan responded by targeting Indian civilian areas and military installations. Indian forces later bombed air force bases deep within Pakistani territory, prompting Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) to request a ceasefire from his Indian counterpart.

Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the United States played a key role in brokering the ceasefire agreement. On Friday, he said he had warned both countries: the US "can't trade with nations that shoot at each other".

India, however, has firmly rejected these claims, stating that trade or tariffs were never part of its communications with Washington during the period of conflict. It also denied any US role in facilitating the ceasefire.

Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Saturday, confirmed for the first time that Indian fighter jets had indeed been brought down during the clashes with Pakistan.

"What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being downed. What mistakes were made - those are important. Numbers are not important," said General Chauhan.

He added, "The good part is that we were able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew our jets again, targeting at long range."
