PM must call all-party meeting upon his return to brief leaders on what he told Trump: Congress

The Congress on Wednesday (June 18, 2025) demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must immediately chair an all-party meeting upon his return from his three-nation tour to brief leaders on what he has told U.S. President Donald Trump in a telephonic conversation and take the nation into confidence.

The Opposition party also termed as a "huge setback" reports that Pakistan Army Chief Gen Asim Munir would be having lunch with Mr. Trump, and said the PM should have conveyed India's displeasure on it to the U.S. President during their telephonic conversation.
