Congress Criticizes Modi After Trump Praises Pakistan Amid Afghanistan Conflict

Congress criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi following U.S. President Donald Trump's praise of Pakistan amid its conflict with Afghanistan. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh described Trump's support for Pakistan as a setback to India's diplomacy, citing a recent trade deal perceived as one-sided and a high U.S. import duty on Indian solar modules. Ramesh also referenced Trump's positive remarks about Pakistan's leadership and linked them to past terrorist attacks, asserting that the world, especially the U.S., has assessed Modi's self-proclaimed global stature.
