After Trump lauds Pakistan's Asim Munir and Sharif, Congress sharpens attack on PM Modi

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent praise for Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has prompted a sharp response from India's Congress party, which has intensified its criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress party's spokesperson referred to the Modi administration as a 'self-declared Vishwaguru,' suggesting that the government's claims of global leadership are unfounded in light of Trump's comments. This exchange highlights ongoing tensions in India-Pakistan relations and raises questions about India's diplomatic standing. The Congress party's remarks come amid a broader narrative questioning Modi's foreign policy and its effectiveness in countering Pakistan's influence. The political landscape in India is further complicated as opposition parties seek to leverage international perceptions to bolster their critique of the ruling government. As the geopolitical dynamics evolve, the Congress party appears poised to capitalize on any perceived weaknesses in Modi's leadership on the global stage.
