[India Narendra Modi Mallikarjun Kharge] It was with shock and awe the Indian Congress President slammed and distasted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's perceived puppet like relationship with American President Donald Trump. Congressional President Kharge referred to Prime Minister Modi not only as a “Dictator” but accused him as being President Trump’s “Gulam” or slave. The reason for this was coupled with PM Modi’s actions when it comes to his forging policy on West Asia as chaos has ensued because of the joint American-Israeli military operation on Iran by other aligned west Asian nations such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The Congressional President also accused PM Modi of betraying the interest of India and aligning himself too closely to the Americans.

The Congressional President also took a hard line on PM Modi’s ability to cower in the face of the trump Administration request that India stop purchasing Russian oil, a request that has recently been overturned by the Trump Administration due to both the region and global cost associated with the Iranians closing the strait of Hormuz. In frustration with PM Modi's actions, he also openly criticized the American military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, as well as the joint American-Israeli military actions that resulted in the assassination of the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which constitutes as a war crime under international law.

Congressional President Kharge also took the position that PM Modi has placed the ability of Indian Farmers to earn a livable wage under undue market stress and strain by allowing both himself and India as whole to be coerced into a lopsided trade deal that not only exploits but undermines the Indian agricultural sector. Why PM Modi has yet to address the accusations set forth by Congressional President Kharge, the accusations made against PM Modi seems to set in the heart of many Indians regardless of where they reside in the 28 states and 8 territories.

Despite the Trump Administration allowing a 30-day window for India to purchase Russian oil, there were no indications that India has stopped its purchase of Russian oil since the landmark trade deal was agreed upon by India and the Americans.
