The Congress today criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi again over US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of stopping Operation Sindoor.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh took to handle X to mock PM’s relationship with Trump, saying, “So far he has said it 54 times. He has said it in the US, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UK. He has said it mid-flight and on land.
Now, President Trump has said it again, while addressing business leaders in Japan last evening. “No wonder his good friend in New Delhi does not want to hug him anymore.”
The controversy surrounds Trump’s repeated claims of brokering an India-Pakistan ceasefire, which India has refuted. Ramesh had questioned whether the PM would address these claims and the increasingly fraught Indo-US relationship. “Will the PM address these claims and speak of the increasingly fraught Indo-US relationship Will he address the concerns of lakhs of Indian H1B holders Will he provide some assurances to the crores of farmers and workers who stand to lose their livelihoods due to his good friend’s tariffs.”
The exchange highlights the growing tensions in the Indo-US relationship, with Trump’s claims sparking concerns about India’s sovereignty and the impact of US policies on Indian citizens. As the relationship between the two countries continues to evolve, the Congress party is demanding answers from the PM on his stance regarding Trump’s claims.
