PM running away from Manipur situation, Trump's claims: Congress jabs Modi ahead of tour
Jul-01-2025

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's five-nation visit, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh took a jibe at him saying he was ‘running away’ from key issues troubling his own country.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, ‘When the going gets tough, the self-styled toughs get going. The Super Premium Frequent Flier PM is off on a 5-nation, 8-day jaunt. He is running away from at least 4 issues that are agitating the nation’. Ramesh alleged that the PM is running away from Manipur, ‘which he has not visited ever since the double engine in the state got derailed and ever since normal life in the state has got totally destroyed’. 

Jairam Ramesh claimed that the PM is running away from the continued claims by President Trump that he effected a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using the trade deal as a carrot and stick. He also alleged that the prime minister is running away from the ‘revelations by defence officials that India suffered reverses in the first two days of Operation Sindoor because of the PM's decisions. Ramesh also targeted the Prime Minister for not bringing the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack to justice.

Earlier, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi launched an attack against the BJP-led government over his allegations of mediation by the United States in Operation Sindoor, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ‘followed’ Donald Trump following a call by the US leader.

While, Prime Minister Modi will embark on a five-nation tour beginning July 2 to participate in the BRICS Summit in Brazil and expand India's ties with several key nations of the Global South.
