Former Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry has made a significant revelation, claiming that former US President Donald Trump called Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan regarding the recent tensions with India in 2019, when an Indian pilot, Abhinandan Varthaman was captured after an exchagne of air strikes.

Speaking on ‘Rubaroo’ on Aaj News, Chaudhry stated that Trump had urged Khan to de-escalate the situation. Trump reportedly attributed the crisis to India’s actions but emphasized the need to avoid further escalation.

Chaudhry also shared insights into Trump’s perception of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that Trump held a negative view of Modi. He described Trump’s opinion of Modi as ‘not very high’.

Chaudhry claimed that Modi missed an opportunity to resolve the issue, as Khan was open to improving relations. He argued that better relations would benefit both Pakistan and India, particularly India. He emphasized Pakistan’s desire for equal relations with India.

Chaudhry reiterated his stance of not supporting any extremist ideology, highlighting the shared extremist mindset across different groups. He speculated that if Modi had been in power in 1971, the creation of Bangladesh would have been prevented. He accused the Indian establishment of hindering the resolution of the Kashmir issue.

Chaudhry criticized Pakistan’s foreign office for their inaction, stating that they remained silent while India demolished the Babri Masjid, inaugurated a temple in Dubai, and now seeks to demolish the Aurangzeb Alamgir mosque. He lamented the lack of condemnation from Muslim countries, instead highlighting their involvement in the inauguration of the temple.
