Congress Challenges Modi's Silence on Trump's Allegations

The Congress criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not addressing claims made by US President Donald Trump, who allegedly attacked India's foreign policy. Trump also reportedly suggested India should stop buying oil from Russia and that he is influencing India's oil trade decisions.

The Congress has launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his silence over recent remarks by US President Donald Trump. Venugopal, Congress General Secretary, alleged that while Modi engages in internal political skirmishes, he chooses to remain mute on Trump's interventions in India's foreign and oil policies.

Trump has reportedly exerted pressure on India, dictating its foreign policy decisions and even going as far as determining India's oil trade partners. He has claimed that Modi reassured him regarding the cessation of oil imports from Russia — a move that has significant geopolitical implications.

Congress is demanding that Modi publicly address these allegations, particularly in light of Trump's assertions about having stopped India's Operation Sindoor against Pakistani terror infrastructure. This silence, according to Congress, undermines India's diplomatic stand and puts its foreign policy under external influence.
