Congress Leader Jairam Slams PM Modi Over West Asia Diplomacy

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday criticised the government’s handling of the ongoing West Asia conflict and India’s diplomatic stance, calling recent developments a “severe setback” for the country. 

In a post on X, Ramesh said that multiple international media reports have identified Pakistan as a potential intermediary between the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other. 

He added that if true,



this would be a major diplomatic setback for India, blaming what he termed the “self-styled Vishwaguru.”

Ramesh further claimed that despite India’s military successes in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has outperformed India diplomatically over the past year.

He said Pakistan, once in a difficult position politically and economically, has gained renewed global relevance through stronger diplomatic engagement and narrative management.
