Rahul Gandhi objected to Donald Trump’s claim and listed allegations against the Union Government to bolster his point.
“PM Modi is frightened of Trump,” Rahul Gandhi said as he listed recent incidents, ” (PM Modi) Allows Trump to decide and announce that India will not buy Russian oil. Keeps sending congratulatory messages despite repeated snubs. Cancelled the Finance Minister’s visit to America. Skipped Sharm el-Sheikh. Doesn’t contradict him on Operation Sindoor,” he posted on X.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh joined the chorus, questioning PM Modi’s silence as he alleged that PM has “outsourced key decisions to America.”
Noting Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Jairam Ramesh questioned the PM’s silence.
“At 5:37 PM Indian Standard Time on May 10, 2025, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the very first to announce that India has halted Operation Sindoor. Subsequently, President Trump has claimed 51 times in 5 different countries that he had intervened to stop Operation Sindoor by using tariffs and trade as his weapon of pressure. Yet our PM kept silent,” he said.
This comes after the US President said that PM Modi had assured him that India would stop purchasing oil from Russia, describing it as “a big step” in efforts to increase global pressure on Moscow.
