New Delhi, Nov 20 (UNI) Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Thursday raised sharp questions for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the government to clarify its stance on the recent US-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s (USCC) annual report. The report’s portrayal of sensitive security issues involving India has sparked concerns over India’s diplomatic positioning.
Ramesh asked pointedly, “Will the Prime Minister and the Ministry of External Affairs register their objections and lodge a protest against this report? Our diplomacy has suffered yet another severe setback.”
He specifically questioned the government’s response to the USCC report’s description of the Pahalgam terror attack as an “insurgent attack” orchestrated by Pakistan. “What action will be taken regarding the report’s claim of Pakistan’s ‘military success’ over India during the four-day clash?” Ramesh demanded.
Highlighting the government’s silence amid these serious allegations, Ramesh also referenced former US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of halting Operation Sindoor, questioning the implications for India’s diplomatic relations.
“This report is simply unacceptable to India,” Ramesh said in a post on X, pressing the government to address the contentious narrative and defend India’s security interests on the global stage.
The USCC report, submitted to the US Congress, assesses economic and security issues related to China but also touches upon South Asian geopolitical tensions, including India-Pakistan conflicts, thereby influencing international perceptions and diplomatic discourse. Ramesh’s call reflects growing demands for a robust and transparent response from India’s leadership.
