'Abdication of responsibilities': Congress slams govt for ‘silence’ on Iran's IRIS Dena sinking in Sri Lankan waters

The Congress party has criticized the Indian government for its silence regarding the sinking of Iran's IRIS Dena in Sri Lankan waters, labeling the situation as an 'abdication of responsibilities.' The vessel, which had previously participated in India's International Fleet Review and MILAN 2026 exercises, was carrying sailors who were considered 'honoured guests' of India. The Congress spokesperson emphasized the need for accountability and transparency from the Indian government, urging it to address the incident and its implications for regional maritime safety and diplomatic relations. As the situation evolves, the party advocates for a proactive stance to safeguard India's interests and ensure the safety of international maritime operations in the region.
