Ex-CDS Chauhan Rejects Trump’s Claim of Brokering India-Pakistan Ceasefire
Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan rejected US President Donald Trump's claim of brokering the India-Pakistan ceasefire during Operation Sindoor in May 2025. Chauhan stated the truce was directly agreed upon between the two countries' Directors General of Military Operations without third-party involvement. He also questioned how information about the ceasefire reached the US before official announcements, suggesting the leak may have originated from Pakistan. Chauhan spoke at the Vivekananda International Foundation's VIMARSH event discussing Operation Sindoor and its aftermath.
