Calibrated capitulation: Congress slams PM Modi after his meeting with Xi
Mr. Ramesh's remarks came a day after PM Modi conveyed to Chinese President Xi that peace and tranquillity along the frontier remains an "essential" basis for development of India-China relations
The Congress party has questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's handling of India-China relations following his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh asked four pointed questions about the PM's approach. Ramesh accused Modi of engaging in "calibrated capitulation" to China, querying why he allowed China's territorial advances in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.
He also criticized the trade deficit with China, which hit a record $112.6 billion in 2025-26, and the softening of India's position on China's support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The Congress party sees Modi's actions as a significant weakening of India's negotiating position.
