PM’s ‘Blind Devotion’ to Israel Damaging India’s Interests, Alleges Congress
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of displaying a “blind devotion” to Israel, alleging that the government’s stance is harming India’s diplomatic and strategic interests.
Congress general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh said the recently announced US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU), which has received a cautious welcome from much of the international community, continues to face significant challenges, with Israel posing the biggest threat to its success.
In a post on X, Ramesh also criticised the Centre for remaining silent over recent remarks by Israel’s National Security Minister calling for “all Lebanon to burn”. “Israel’s National Security Minister — no less — has just called for all Lebanon to burn. His remarks have drawn wide condemnation. But as usual, the Modi Govt has kept totally quiet,” Ramesh said.
There was no immediate response from the government or the BJP to the Congress’s allegations.
