Congress's Jairam Ramesh hits out at US over reported invite to Pakistan Army chief
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has slammed the United States for reportedly inviting Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir for the US Army Day celebrations on June 14, calling it a diplomatic setback for India. Jairam Ramesh also brought up Asim Munir's remarks before the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 people were killed, most of whom were tourists. He questioned what the US is up to by inviting Asim Munir. He shared a media report about the US' invitation and wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'This is the man who spoke in such incendiary and provocative language just before the Pahalgam terror attacks. What is the US really up to? This is another huge diplomatic setback for India,' Ramesh said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This post by the Congress leader followed another similar critique by him over the United States praising Pakistan for countering terrorism. He shared a report of Hindustan Times on US Central Command chief Gen Michael Kurilla describing Pakistan as a 'phenomenal partner' in counter-terrorism during a hearing by the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. Sharing the report, Ramesh wrote on X, 'Just now, the head of the U.S. Central Command called Pakistan a 'splendid partner in the anti-terrorism campaign.' What will our Prime Minister and his praise brigade say about this? Isn't this a diplomatic blow for India?' The United States has invited Asim Munir for US Army Day celebrations on June 14, News18 reported, citing top intelligence sources. The report added that Munir is expected to land in the US on Thursday, June 12, citing sources at the Pakistani embassy in Washington DC. This would be the US Army's 250th anniversary and will be marked with a parade in Washington and large-scale festivities on June 14. The event is expected to feature approximately 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles, and over 50 aircraft, reported news agency ANI.

‘Shame On You': Sabeer Bhatia's Critical Remarks On Indian Economy Leave Internet Furious
Last Updated: The Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Indian-American entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia has stirred controversy once again, following a series of critical remarks about the Indian economy. Just days after questioning the country's GDP claims, the Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Posting on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Bhatia stated that Indians should feel ashamed of the nation's low average income levels, despite the population reaching 1.4 billion. His remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many users flooding the comment section to criticise and challenge his statements. 'Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day, you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you," Bhatia wrote on X.

Shame on you.— Sabeer Bhatia (@sabeer) June 10, 2025 In response to Bhatia's post, many slammed him for gaining attention through the comments and not making any real contribution. The business was also engaged with a few critics, offering further insights. As one wrote, 'Why are you bragging about being the world's No. 1 economy with $36–37 trillion in debt? You're entirely dependent on a migrant population, conducting coups in other countries, and stealing their gold and oil resources. There is massive overvaluation of companies and many other things," to which Bhatia replied, 'Nobody is bragging. Show me one place where the US is bragging (except in your head). You've been fed the wrong story." A comment read, 'Sabeer, you may have your own ideas. Why don't you come to India, contest elections, win them, implement your agenda, and show the results? That would be better than sitting in an ivory tower and passing judgments." This is not the first time that Bhatia's comments on India have irked the internet. Earlier in May, the businessman shared a video criticising the country's economic growth. 'We overtook Japan in GDP… but can you feel it in your pocket? Growth without distribution is merely inflation in disguise," he wrote in the caption.

Among those who pushed back was former Infosys director Mohandas Pai, who openly challenged Bhatia's claims. This sparked a heated exchange between the two. First Published:
