The Congress on Thursday (June 19, 2025) attacked the government after U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for lunch, saying it is a "huge blow" to Indian diplomacy.

Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said Field Marshal Asim Munir is not the Head of State or Head of government of Pakistan and is the Chief of Army Staff, yet he gets invited by Mr. Trump for lunch and receives much praise.
