Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (March 24, 2026) attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his COVID-19 reference in his statement to Parliament on the West Asia situation, saying he has forgotten what had happened during the pandemic and the kind of tragedies that had unfolded back then.
Mr. Gandhi alleged that India's foreign policy has become "Modi's personal foreign policy" which is being considered as a "universal joke".

Speaking with reporters in the Parliament House complex, Mr. Gandhi said, "If the PM is compromised, our foreign policy is compromised."
Asked about reports of Pakistan being one of the intermediaries between the U.S.-Israel and Iran, and India's stand on the West Asia crisis, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, "Our foreign policy is PM Modi's personal foreign policy. You can see the results of this, everybody considers this a universal joke."
