Rahul Gandhi targets PM Modi over US remarks after death of three Indian Sailors
Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of failing to respond strongly after three Indian sailors were killed in a US military strike near Oman.
Gandhi criticized the Prime Minister's handling of the issue and claimed that the government's response to the United States was too weak.
The controversy began after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar regarding the ongoing Middle East crisis.
Gandhi alleged that PM Modi was acting "like an obedient servant" instead of firmly defending India's interests and seeking accountability for the deaths of Indian citizens.
The deaths of the sailors have triggered political debate and public outrage across the country.
The Indian government has already conveyed its protest to the United States, with EAM S. Jaishankar stating that the killing of civilians cannot be justified under any circumstances.
The incident has added pressure on the government as opposition parties continue to demand a stronger diplomatic response and justice for the families of the deceased sailors.
