Trump-Munir ‘lunch’ meet; Ramesh takes a dig at PM

Trump-Munir ‘lunch’ meet; Ramesh takes a dig at PM

New Delhi, June 18 (UNI) Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing a series of recent developments involving the United States and Pakistan describing them as a “triple jhatka” to the government’s foreign policy.

On his social media handle X, Ramesh questioned the Modi government's silence over the reported lunch meeting between US President Donald Trump and Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House.

Ramesh said, “Field Marshal Asim Munir, the man whose inflammatory, incendiary and provocative remarks were linked directly to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attacks, is having lunch today with President Trump in the White House. Is this why President Trump abandoned the G7 Summit a day early denying Mr. Narendra Modi a huge hug?”

He further alleged, “President Trump himself has trumpeted 14 times that he brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan meaning he ended Operation Sindoor”.

He further raised concerns by pointing to US Central Command Chief General Michael Kurilla’s remark, where he praised Pakistan as an “outstanding” partner in counter-terrorism operations.

“This is a triple jhatka to 'Howdy Modi' by 'Namaste Trump',” Ramesh quipped, adding that “Indian diplomacy is being shattered and the PM is totally silent. And tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of his (in)famous clean chit to China”.
