Veteran Trinamool Congress MP, Saugata Roy, on Wednesday critiqued the Centre’s handling of the escalating West Asia situation, particularly noting India’s silence in the matter, which he claims is aimed at not offending US President Donald Trump.
Roy asserted that India’s failure to take a stance harms its international diplomatic reputation, further accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of focusing on pleasing Trump rather than addressing critical foreign policy issues.
BJP Rajya Sabha MP, Samik Bhattacharya, countered Roy’s remarks, stating that such criticisms are inappropriate at a time when the country should support its foreign policy. He urged Roy to concentrate on local issues within his party and state.
