Congress Challenges PM Modi Ahead of Meeting with Trump
NEW DELHI: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for a pivotal meeting with US President Donald Trump, the Congress party has raised critical questions about whether Modi will address pressing issues affecting India.
Key Concerns Raised by Congress
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh took to social media, questioning if Modi would confront Trump over recent deportations of Indian citizens. He provocatively asked, “Will Modi tell Trump that India would send its own aircraft—like Venezuela and Colombia—to bring back deportees in the future?”
Trade and Immigration Issues
Ramesh also criticized the Modi government’s concessions to the US, such as reducing import duties on agricultural products and altering the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act, 2010, favoring US firms. He emphasized the need for Modi to oppose Trump’s policies, including his stance on Palestine and withdrawal from crucial international agreements.
H1B Visa Holders Under Scrutiny
Expressing concern over the treatment of H1B visa holders, largely comprised of Indian professionals, Ramesh questioned, “Will Mr. Modi tell President Trump that attacks on H1B visa holders are unacceptable?”
Modi’s Meeting with Elon Musk
The Congress also scrutinized Modi’s upcoming discussion with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, urging India to prioritize local manufacturing over mere assembly of vehicles in the country.
Conclusion: A Watchful Eye on Bilateral Relations
Modi’s discussions with Trump, set against a backdrop of increasing bilateral tensions, are expected to be closely monitored. Will he champion India’s interests and address these vital issues? Only time will tell.
