Congress Slams Government Over US Report Citing “Pakistan’s Military Success” Against India
New Delhi: The Congress party has launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government, alleging a major diplomatic failure after a US Congressional commission report reportedly described a four-day military clash between India and Pakistan in 2025 as a “military success” for Pakistan.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh highlighted the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s annual report, claiming it contained “astonishing and beyond understanding” sections. He pointed specifically to pages 108 and 109, which allegedly characterize the deadly Pahalgam terror attack of April 2025, which led to the deaths of 26 civilians, as an “insurgent attack.”
“Our diplomacy has suffered yet another severe setback,” Ramesh said in a post on X, sharing screenshots of the relevant report pages. He also raised concerns about the report’s assertion that “Pakistan’s military success over India” in the conflict “showcased Chinese weaponry.” The report also suggests China is using these opportunities to advertise its weaponry, and its success in this arena could be a detriment to India because of border tensions.
The Congress leader criticized Prime Minister Modi’s silence on former US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of halting “Operation Sindoor,” a detail not elaborated upon in the provided text. He questioned whether Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs would formally protest the US commission’s findings.
The report also highlights China’s role in the May 7-10, 2025, clash, noting Pakistan’s reliance on Chinese weaponry and, reportedly, Chinese intelligence. The conflict, triggered by India’s response to the deadly terror attack, saw both countries allegedly striking targets deeper within each other’s territories than in the past 50 years. This clash drew global attention due to China’s role in the conflict. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission suggests that China is using the conflict to showcase its weaponry, which could be detrimental to India because of border tensions.
