New Delhi, India
Congress has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of maintaining silence in the matter of death of seafarers. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge said that the Modi government should show seriousness on this issue and find a solution instead of hiding it with the ‘Vishwaguru’ narrative.
In the recent incidents, the news of the murder of some seafarers has raised concern at the national and international level. The Congress has urged the government to postpone the upcoming visit of US trade representatives, especially after Rubio’s language with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was described as ‘threatening’. Kharge said, “In these difficult times, it is the responsibility of the government to show sensitivity towards the seafarers and their families. Modi ji’s silent policy can further escalate this crisis. It is time that he talks to US President Donald Trump on this matter and ensure appropriate action.” Do it.”
The party says that this issue cannot be resolved only through political expenditure or policy of repression, but it is an issue affecting the country’s security, honor and foreign relations. Congress has requested the Modi government to investigate this matter concretely and take immediate action against the culprits.
The Ministry of External Affairs has not yet made any official comment on this issue, while the voice of the opposition is increasing. Experts believe that the Modi government will have to show a clear stand on such sensitive issues along with handling relations with America. The government is expected to give priority to this issue and take appropriate steps in view of international pressure.
