RJD MP Manoj Jha sparked controversy by calling Donald Trump "mentally unstable" following his meeting with Pakistan's Army Chief. He urged Parliament to formally reject Trump's mediation offer on India-Pakistan issues. Jha also criticized PM Modi's Bihar visit, calling it election-centric while ignoring unemployment and healthcare crises. The remarks come amid escalating global tensions and shifting US-Pakistan relations.

"Through his behaviour, it seems the US President is mentally unstable and cannot think clearly on ideological matters." — Manoj Kumar Jha
New Delhi, June 19: Following a rare meeting between US President Donald Trump and Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Rajya Sabha member Manoj Kumar Jha on Thursday questioned Trump's mental state, calling him “mentally unstable.”

Speaking to IANS, Manoj Kumar Jha said: "I don’t want to go into too much detail, but through his behaviour, it seems that the US President is mentally unstable and cannot even think clearly on ideological matters. I am also concerned on a deeper level. On Wednesday, our Ministry of External Affairs gave a briefing on a video, and again, Trump issued another statement on his involvement in mediation between India and Pakistan. I think he’s obsessed with this."

Jha called for a special session of Parliament in response to Trump’s comments.

"All MPs should come together and send a clear message to Trump: this is none of your business. We have never accepted mediation—neither in the past, the present, nor will we in the future."

Referring to Pakistan’s recent praise for leaders like Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the US President, Jha questioned the irony.

"They are calling for a Nobel Prize for Shehbaz and Trump. Leaders like (North Korea's) Kim Jong Un and (Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu are being projected as peacemakers. Look at what kind of peace they are bringing—in Iran, in Gaza. The geopolitical situation is becoming more complex, and that’s why I believe it’s time we reboot our foreign policy," he said.

Jha also responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Bihar's Siwan, where he is scheduled to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for projects worth Rs 9,519 crore on June 20. He is also expected to address a public rally.

"He is the Prime Minister, so naturally he will visit, especially with elections approaching. He’ll showcase traditional symbols like the 'gamcha' and 'litti chokha'. But what’s more important are the real challenges Bihar is facing—unemployment, poor social security, and deteriorating health facilities," he said.

"PM Modi didn’t say a word about the gunfire incident during his roadshow on Boring Road. These are the issues he must address in Siwan."

This will be PM Modi’s fourth visit to Bihar this year, with the state Assembly elections scheduled for October-November. The administration remains on high alert ahead of his arrival.

While I don't agree with Trump's approach, calling him "mentally unstable" is unparliamentary language. Our leaders should maintain decorum when discussing foreign heads of state. India's stance on no mediation is correct, but let's express it diplomatically.

Trump meeting Pak Army chief shows America's double standards again! They keep giving military aid to Pakistan while pretending to be our allies. India must strengthen ties with other global powers who respect our sovereignty 🇮🇳

The real issue is Pakistan trying to internationalize Kashmir again. Trump's comments are just noise - we know he loves drama. But our MEA should be more proactive in countering Pak's propaganda globally. Silent diplomacy isn't enough anymore!

Why is our opposition leader more concerned about Trump than Bihar's development? Both Modi and opposition should focus on real issues - jobs, healthcare, education. Foreign policy debates can wait, our people's needs can't! #Priorities

As a Bihari, I'm tired of politicians using our state as election playground. Whether it's Modi's visits or opposition criticism, where are concrete solutions? We need industries, better roads, and quality schools - not just rallies and gamcha politics!

The Nobel peace prize comment is spot on! How can anyone take Trump seriously after he wanted to nominate himself? 😂 But seriously, India needs to be careful - US elections are coming and we don't know who'll be President next. Our foreign policy must be flexible.
