'PM Modi is afraid of Trump': Rahul attacks PM over US President's claim about Russian oil purchases

Posted on 16th Oct 2025 by rohit kumar

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again launched a scathing attack on PM Modi, accusing him of being afraid of US President Donald Trump. In a post shared on social media, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "PM Modi is afraid of Trump. He allowed Trump to announce that India will no longer buy Russian oil. Despite repeated neglect, congratulatory messages are sent." In fact, recently, when US President Trump brokered a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel, PM Modi praised President Trump's leadership and congratulated him.

 

 

Previously Raised Questions About Operation Sindoor

Rahul Gandhi also claimed that the Finance Minister's US visit was canceled. He also said that PM Modi did not go to Sharm el-Sheikh. PM Modi did not oppose Trump on Operation Sindoor. This is not the first time Rahul Gandhi has attacked the Prime Minister regarding Operation Sindoor and India-US relations; he has previously made serious allegations against PM Modi. Rahul Gandhi said that China openly supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, but PM Modi did not make any statement against China.

 

 

Rahul Gandhi also criticized India's foreign policy, saying that India's foreign policy has collapsed. He questioned why no country supported India during Operation Sindoor. Rahul Gandhi also questioned who asked President Trump to mediate between India and Pakistan.



'Praise from here, tariffs from there'

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also attacked PM Modi over Trump's claim. In a post shared on social media, Jairam Ramesh wrote, "President Trump announces decisions taken by the Indian government in Washington, D.C. Praise from here, tariffs from there! President Trump has claimed 51 times that he is responsible for preventing India-Pakistan tensions by using trade threats. Yesterday, Trump said that he told Prime Minister Modi that India should buy oil from Russia, and India assured him that it would not buy oil from Russia. The Prime Minister is silent on this matter!" If such a decision has been taken, the Prime Minister should announce it. The Prime Minister tweets praising Trump, but America imposes tariffs on us.

 

 

'Our foreign policy has failed.'

The Congress leader said, "The Prime Minister should explain the truth behind the purchase of oil from Russia. Why hasn't a trade agreement with the US been reached yet? The Prime Minister should take Parliament into confidence, build consensus, and explain. Our foreign policy has completely failed."

 

 

The Prime Minister was also cornered on the issue of women.

Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki is on a visit to India. Recently, women journalists were not allowed entry into the Afghan Foreign Minister's press conference in New Delhi. This drew widespread criticism from the government. Rahul Gandhi also targeted PM Modi on this issue.

 

 

In a post shared on social media, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "Mr. Modi, when you allow women journalists to be excluded from public forums, you are telling every woman in India that you are too weak to stand up for them." "In our country, women have the right to equal participation in every field. Your silence in the face of such discrimination exposes the hollowness of your slogans on women's empowerment."
