The Congress on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government following US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to host Pakistan\u2019s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, for lunch at the White House. The opposition described the event as a \u201csignificant setback\u201d for Indian diplomacy.<\/p>\n
Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in charge of communications, took to X to highlight that Munir, unlike a head of state or government, holds a military position yet was warmly received by Trump. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the same individual whose inflammatory remarks provided the backdrop to the brutal Pahalgam terror attacks, orchestrated by the establishment he oversees,\u201d Ramesh stated, referring to the 22 April attack that killed 26 people.<\/p>\n
Ramesh called the meeting a \u201chuge blow to Indian diplomacy (and huglomacy too),\u201d taking a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s penchant for embracing foreign leaders, a practice Congress has dubbed \u201chuglomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Congress has repeatedly criticised Modi\u2019s diplomatic style, particularly his warm gestures during international engagements. Meanwhile, Trump, speaking to the media in the Oval Office after hosting Munir on Wednesday, praised both Modi and Munir for averting a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Notably, this marked the first time in weeks that Trump refrained from claiming personal credit for de-escalating tensions between the two nations.<\/p>\n
Trump described the leaders of India and Pakistan as \u201cvery smart\u201d and expressed gratitude for their decision to halt hostilities, which he noted could have escalated into a nuclear war. He also mentioned ongoing trade deal discussions with both countries, adding that Modi had visited the White House recently.<\/p>\n
However, Congress seized on Trump\u2019s remarks to accuse Modi\u2019s government of failing to counter what they called misleading claims by the US President. Pawan Khera, head of Congress\u2019 media and publicity department, questioned the credibility of Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs, asking why India\u2019s position was not clearly conveyed during a 35-minute phone call between Modi and Trump on Tuesday, 17 June.<\/p>\n
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had stated that Modi used the call to brief Trump on Operation Sindoor, India\u2019s military response to the Pahalgam attack, which destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan-controlled areas. Misri emphasised that India had paused its strikes at Pakistan\u2019s request, not due to US mediation or trade incentives, and reiterated India\u2019s rejection of third-party mediation.<\/p>\n
Despite this, Trump repeated his claim hours later that he had \u201cstopped the war\u201d and was close to signing a trade deal with India. Khera, quoting Trump\u2019s remarks on X, accused the US President of undermining the narrative put forth by Modi\u2019s \u201cPR machinery.\u201d He questioned, \u201cIs the word of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of External Affairs now so weak that they cannot clearly present India\u2019s position in a half-hour call with the US President?\u201d<\/p>\n
Khera also accused the government of remaining silent when Trump \u201chyphenated\u201d India and Pakistan, and now Modi and Munir, equating the two nations and their leaders. \u201cThe Opposition objected when Trump linked India and Pakistan, and we will never accept this insult to the office of India\u2019s Prime Minister,\u201d he said, urging Modi to publicly refute Trump\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
