Indian anchorperson Arnab Goswami expressed outrage over US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Pakistan and India, calling it an overstep of American authority.
Speaking live on Indian television shortly after the announcement, Goswami said, “When India rejected US mediation, how can Trump declare a ceasefire?” He accused Trump of lacking understanding of the ground situation.
The Indian journalist rejects ceasefire claims made by Trump, who had earlier stated on his social platform Truth Social that both countries agreed to end hostilities.
Goswami pointed out that just days ago, Trump had said the US had “nothing to do with the conflict.”

He declared that his news channel would only broadcast the Indian government’s official statement, not the version shared by the former US president.
It is pertinent to mention here that the governments of India and Pakistan have officially agreed to an immediate and complete ceasefire, ending days of cross-border violence that had shaken the region.
Top US officials, including President Donald Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio, confirmed the development after 48 hours of backchannel diplomacy.
Rubio praised Prime Ministers Modi and Shehbaz Sharif for their “wisdom and statesmanship” in choosing peace over war.
The India-Pakistan ceasefire was made possible after US Vice President JD Vance engaged both India’s national security team and Pakistan’s military leadership to push for peace talks.
Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan has “always sought peace,” but would not compromise on defending its territory.
In a statement to a local TV channel, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the agreement includes future meetings to resolve issues and avoid more military clashes.
