The Congress on Tuesday (June 17, 2025) questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on the U.S. reaching out to Pakistan while referring to Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir's visit to the country.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said, "So now it can no longer be denied by the drumbeaters of the PM and the BJP's troll army. The man whose incendiary, inflammatory, and provocative remarks were directly linked to the Pahalgam terror attacks is now officially in Washington D.C." "The question we had asked earlier needs to be repeated: What is America up to by hosting Asim Munir in this manner? Why are the Prime Minister and the External Affairs Minister silent on this outrageous American outreach to Pakistan?" he said.
The Congress leader also took a swipe at Mr. Modi after U.S. President Donald Trump left the G-7 Summit in Canada a day earlier, saying it is a "setback for self-styled Vishwaguru's huglomacy".
"President Trump has left the G-7 Summit a day before the G-7 outreach with eight other countries that includes India begins. A setback for self-styled Vishwaguru's Huglomacy," Mr. Ramesh said in another post.
