Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday (June 23, 2025) slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "trivialising" the opposition and criticised his absence from the all-party meetings convened after the Pahalgam terror attack.

Mr. Kharge said the Prime Minister's absence reflects his scant respect for the opposition.
