Trump’s claim
The U.S. President, Donald Trump, seems to have dropped another claim — that five jets were downed during the India-Pakistan conflict (Front page, “Cong. seeks clarity over Trump’s remarks on jets”, July 20). India cannot afford to remain silent whenever Mr. Trump makes a serious remark, especially when it one that has direct implications for the country’s image, identity, security and reputation. Nothing will be lost if an authentic statement on the issue is tabled in the monsoon session of Parliament.

Ensure road safety
Omni bus drivers, especially on the Madurai to Chennai route, drive in a reckless manner. The vehicles also have very powerful head lights, causing difficulty to other road users. The police and RTO officers must act.
