With all the tensions that have been going on in the Middle East, Congress has come out lashing the ruling party for not condemning the United States of America.
Congress during the early hours of Monday said, "US President Donald Trump's decision to unleash American air power on Iran makes a 'mockery' of his own calls for the continuation of talks with Iran.” While slamming the Modi government for neither criticising nor condemning the US bombing and Israel's aggression, Congress targeted the government amid foreign tensions.
The opposition party, Congress, also reiterated the absolute essentiality of immediate diplomacy and dialogue with Iran.
