Congress escalates attacks on S. Jaishankar, labeling him 'Jaichand' amid national security debate

Congress leaders have escalated their criticism of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, dubbing him 'Jaichand' in light of ongoing national security discussions.

Rahul Gandhi has accused Jaishankar of compromising India's national interests, questioning why no countries supported India after the recent Pahalgam terror attack.

Gandhi stated, "Every single day that Jaichand Jaishankar continues as the Minister of External Affairs, he remains not just a liability but a serious threat to India's national interests." The Congress party's allegations stem from Jaishankar's remarks regarding India's military operations against terrorism, which they claim have undermined India's position against Pakistan.

The BJP has countered these claims, asserting that Gandhi's statements could embolden adversaries and demoralize the armed forces. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia stated, "Gandhi's comments were being used by Pakistan to target India."

The political battle has intensified as both parties grapple with the implications of India's foreign policy and its impact on national security. Jaishankar has defended India's stance, emphasizing the need for a strong response to terrorism while criticizing Western support for military regimes in Pakistan.

As the debate continues, the Congress party's rhetoric against Jaishankar raises questions about the future of India's diplomatic relations and national security strategy.

Congress leaders have intensified their attacks on External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, labeling him 'Jaichand' amid a heated national security debate.
