NEW DELHI: Congress dubbed PM Narendra Modi‘s decision to skip, in his conversation with President Xi Jinping, the issue of Chinese support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor as “anti-national”. The party accused Modi of repeatedly compromising national interest with China.Coming down heavily on PM Modi, AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh said, “Aug 31, 2025 will “go down as a day of infamy for his cowardly kowtowing in Tianjin”, reminding that his “clean chit” to China on June 19, 2020, after Galwan clashes had “betrayed national interest.” Ramesh said Modi chose to remain “silent” on it in his meeting with Jinping. “The self-proclaimed 56-inch chested ‘leader’ now stands thoroughly exposed,” he said.Ramesh said, Modi telling Jinping India and China both are victims of terrorism flies in the face of India’s long standing accusation that China indulges in “double standards” and “double-speak” on terrorism. “If this is not the so-called elephant capitulating before the so-called dragon, then what is it?” he asked.
