Kharge slams Modi for silence on Trump’s ceasefire claims
New Delhi: Indian National Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he lacks the courage to respond to US President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly claimed credit for ending the India-Pakistan conflict.
According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a rally in Odisha’s Bhubaneshwar, Kharge said, “I want to tell you about the lies being peddled by Modi and the BJP? When the India-Pakistan war was going on, Donald Trump said that he ended the India-Pakistan war and that he told them to stop. Trump said this 16 times. Modi did not respond to him. Why? Because he did not have the courage to speak against Trump”.
Kharge further questioned Modi’s leadership, saying, “When you don’t have the courage, such people should not rule the country. The person who doesn’t fight with strength to protect the country, we will not accept him as a leader”.
Taking aim at the BJP’s governance, he added, “Modi keeps saying things, but what work are his double-engine governments doing? They are busy giving land to Adani and selling PSUs. Everything is for the rich. Nothing is for the poor in Odisha”.
