NEW DELHI: Congress on Monday upped the ante against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the Monsoon session of Parliament , accusing him of rarely attending proceedings and prioritising foreign trips over urgent domestic concerns.
In a social media post on X, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the Prime Minister "owes it to the country" to be present in the House when issues like the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor are taken up for discussion.
“Very shortly, the nattily dressed Prime Minister will give his usual Desh ke Naam Sandesh through the media outside the Parliament building before the commencement of the Monsoon session. This will be full of his usual platitudes and hypocrisy,” Ramesh said.
“Prime Minister Modi is very, very, very rarely present in Parliament. He speaks once a year on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address. But this time, he owes it to the country to be present when the issue of Pahalgam–Operation Sindoor–President Trump is finally taken up for discussion,” Ramesh posted on X, referring to an upcoming debate expected to focus on a military operation and US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire claims.
The Congress leader also took a swipe at PM Modi for his upcoming visits to the UK and Maldives, calling him a “Super Premium Frequent Flyer.”
“Forty-eight hours later, the Super Premium Frequent Flyer will start yet another foreign visit. The people of Manipur will have more cause for disappointment,” he added.
The Monsoon session is expected to see heated discussions on a range of issues, including the government’s handling of internal security and foreign relations.
The opposition has demanded discussions on the Pahalgam terror attack , Operation Sindoor, and what it calls a “drift” in foreign policy, insisting that Prime Minister Modi should personally respond to these debates.
Communist Party of India (CPI) MP P. Sandosh Kumar has given a notice in the Rajya Sabha seeking to suspend regular business for a discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of acting as a peace mediator between India and Pakistan.
