US-Pakistan Bonhomie Alarms Indian Congress Amidst Allegations of Terror Link
New Delhi – December 24, 2025 – The Indian National Congress has expressed serious concern over what it sees as increasingly warm relations between the United States, under President Donald Trump, and Pakistan, particularly its Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh voiced these concerns on Wednesday (December 24, 2025) citing President Trump’s repeated public praise of Field Marshal Munir despite controversial remarks from the Pakistani leader and Pakistan’s alleged involvement in the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in April.
Mr. Ramesh highlighted several instances of apparent U.S. favor, including a White House lunch hosted for Mr. Munir in June, followed by a second meeting in October where the Field Marshal presented President Trump with a gift of rare earths. President Trump has publicly referred to Mr. Munir as “my favorite Field Marshal” and a “highly respected General.”
“This bonhomie between the USA and Pakistan is deeply concerning for India,” Mr. Ramesh stated on social media platform X, arguing that it effectively provides Pakistan and Mr. Munir with a “clean chit” despite alleged evidence linking them to the Pahalgam attack.
The Congress leader criticized the Modi government’s silence on the matter, contrasting it with the international isolation Pakistan faced after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. He asserted that the current U.S.-Pakistan relationship represents a significant shift, with Pakistan being “celebrated and lionized” instead of being held accountable for its alleged actions.
The concerns come amidst ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, and a complex geopolitical landscape in the region.
