The Congress party has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi following Pakistan's announcement to host talks between the United States and Iran, which come after a two-week ceasefire agreement. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh described Pakistan's involvement as a significant setback to Modi's 'personalized diplomacy,' accusing him of cowardice for remaining silent on Israel's actions in Gaza. Ramesh emphasized that the ceasefire is a response to a conflict that began on February 28, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and a global energy crisis. He criticized Modi for failing to effectively isolate Pakistan, contrasting it with the diplomatic achievements of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after the Mumbai terror attacks. The BJP has not yet commented on these accusations.
