‘India never looked this weak’: Oppn flays PM Modi over ‘silence’ on Khamenei's killing

The Indian opposition, particularly the Congress party, has sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his perceived silence regarding the recent assassination of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by a US-Israel coalition. This criticism comes amid growing concerns over India's geopolitical stance and its implications for national security. Congress leaders have accused the Modi government of a significant failure in foreign policy, claiming that the Prime Minister's lack of response reflects an 'abdication of moral leadership.' They argue that India's silence on such critical international events undermines its position on the global stage and portrays the nation as weak. The opposition's comments come at a time when India is navigating complex relationships with both Western powers and its neighboring countries, making the government's diplomatic approach all the more crucial. The political discourse surrounding this event raises important questions about India's role in regional stability and its commitment to upholding international norms and values. As debates continue, the Modi administration faces pressure to articulate a clear stance on the incident and its broader implications for India-Iran relations and regional security dynamics.
