The Congress on Saturday termed PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel “shameful”, saying it creates the perception of a political endorsement of military escalation on Iran.
Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said that two days after Modi “celebrated his visit to Israel”, Israel and the US began their joint assault on Iran. “He [Modi] declared that India stood with Israel and got himself an award for saying so. This Israel visit was shameful and it is even more so in light of the war that has been launched by two of Mr Modi’s ‘good friends’.”

“The BJP government needs to be mindful that India has civilisational, economic, energy, geopolitical and diasporic ties not only with Israel, but also with Iran, Palestine,” Salman Khurshid, Chairman of the Congress Foreign Affairs said.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia reacted, “The Congress has stooped to nangai (extreme brazenness). It has become the Congress’s nature to make negative comments on any sensitive developing story.”
