Congress Alleges PM Modi Avoiding ASEAN Summit to Dodge Trump Meeting

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi unlikely to attend the ASEAN summit in Malaysia, the Congress alleged that he is avoiding the event to prevent a face-to-face encounter with US President Donald Trump. Jairam Ramesh went on to claim that Modi had also skipped the Gaza peace summit in Egypt ‘for the same reason.’ The speculation arises amid growing tensions between India and the US over trade issues and geopolitical matters. Critics see Modi’s absence as a strategic move to avoid diplomatic challenges and conflicts.
