'Congenital Liar': BJP Hits Back After 'Triple Jhatka' Swipe By Congress Over Modi-Trump Phone Call
Last Updated:
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said US President Donald Trump's invitation to Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir is a "setback for Indian diplomacy"
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh's 'triple jhatka' swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's telephonic conversation with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, has triggered a social media war with the BJP accusing the senior politician of being a 'congenital liar – much like Rahul Gandhi".
Addressing the phone conversation between Modi and Trump, Jairam Ramesh said the US President's invitation to Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir is a 'setback for Indian diplomacy" while the central government is 'quiet" over the issue.
Field Marshall Asim Munir, the man whose inflammatory, incendiary and provocative remarks were linked directly to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attacks, is having lunch today with President Trump in the White House. Is this why President Trump abandoned the G7 Summit a day early…— Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) June 18, 2025
Expressing his discontent, Ramesh said there is a world of a difference between India's note (on the phone conversation) and the note by US. 'You are saying this, he said that…then why not call an all-party meeting?" he asked.
The BJP's IT cell head, Amit Malviya, rebutted his claims on the US note. 'Jairam Ramesh is a congenital liar — much like Rahul Gandhi. He is now peddling yet another falsehood, claiming that Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's statement doesn't match the US readout – while dramatically waving his phone around. But here is the catch: the readout he is citing is from January 2025! And there is no official US release yet on the latest call," Malviya wrote on X.

'The Congress and its troll army simply can't digest the fact that Prime Minister Modi told President Trump in clear terms — India neither needs nor accepts any third-party mediation. The de-escalation with Pakistan happened through DGMOs, and at Pakistan's own request, Congress must stop maligning India's firm and principled foreign policy just to feed its petty narratives," he added. 'Under Congress, India was seen as a weak, third-world country. Today, India is a rising power — a bright star in the global order. No amount of lies can dim that truth."
Malviya said Ramesh is known for 'peddling fake narratives" and even people in his own party have admitted to the same. 'But this time, he has been caught with his hand in the till! Look closely till 1:40 PM — US Embassy spokesperson Christopher Elms clearly states there has been NO READOUT from the meeting. So here is the big question: If the US Embassy itself denied any readout, then where did Congress get their fake 'readout" from? Answer: They manufactured it out of thin air," he wrote in another post on X.

Calling it a 'serious breach of diplomatic protocol", he said the Congress has actively tried to 'sabotage" India's foreign policy efforts during a critical time. 'This isn't just a lie — it is a serious breach of diplomatic protocol. Congress falsely attributed statements to a foreign government. It actively tried to sabotage India's foreign policy efforts during a critical time. This is not politics — This is sabotage. This is treason. This is the Congress party," he added.

Earlier in the day, during their 35-minute conversation on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada, Modi briefed Trump on Operation Sindoor and firmly conveyed the message that India has never accepted and will never accept mediation on the issues with Pakistan.

Who is Ghazala Hashmi? Indian-American wins lieutenant governor nomination; Democrat to contest Virginia race
Source- Instagram Senator Ghazala Hashmi made history on Wednesday by winning the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor of Virginia. She is now the first Muslim and the first Indian-American ever nominated for a statewide office in Virginia. Hashmi defeated five Democratic candidates, including former Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, clinching the nomination by a razor-thin margin of less than one percentage point. She will now face Republican John Reid in November. Reid is the first openly gay man nominated by a major party for statewide office in Virginia. With Hashmi joining gubernatorial nominee Rep. Abigail Spanberger and attorney general candidate Jay Jones, Democrats have now completed their statewide ticket. The general election could be historic in multiple ways, including the possibility of Virginia electing its first woman governor. Who is Ghazala Hashmi? Hashmi is the first Muslim woman and first South Asian American elected to Virginia's state Senate. She was born in India and moved to the US at age 4, settling in Georgia with her family. Hashmi holds a PhD in American literature and spent most of her professional life as a professor. She taught at the University of Richmond and later at Reynolds Community College before entering politics. In 2019, she entered the Virginia Senate by defeating Republican Glen Sturtevant in a closely watched race. She was re-elected in 2023. In the Senate, she championed reproductive rights. One of her key bills aimed to protect Virginians' access to contraception. The bill passed both chambers but was vetoed by Governor Glenn Youngkin.

Those who speak English will soon feel 'ashamed': Home Minister Amit Shah
Amit Shah said that foreign languages cannot truly capture the essence of India's culture, history, or religion New Delhi Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that India is moving towards becoming a society where the use of English would no longer be seen as a marker of pride or status. 'In this country, those who speak English will soon feel ashamed — the creation of such a society is not far away. Only those who are determined can bring about change. I believe that the languages of our country are the jewels of our culture. Without our languages, we cease to be truly Indian,' Shah said, as quoted by ANI. He was speaking at the launch of 'Main Boond Swayam, Khud Sagar Hoon', a book authored by former IAS officer Ashutosh Agnihotri, in Delhi. Shah said that foreign languages are unable to fully express India's civilisation and spiritual roots. 'The idea of a complete India cannot be imagined through half-baked foreign languages. I am fully aware of how difficult this battle is, but I am also fully confident that Indian society will win it. Once again, with self-respect, we will run our country in our own languages and lead the world too,' he said. English is one of the two official languages of India. 'Panch Pran' now a national resolve The Home Minister also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's five pledges, known as the 'Panch Pran', saying these have now become the collective will of the nation. 'Modi Ji has laid the foundation of the 'Panch Pran' (five pledges) for the Amrit Kaal. Achieving the goal of a developed India, getting rid of every trace of slavery, taking pride in our heritage, staying committed to unity and solidarity, and igniting the spirit of duty in every citizen — these five pledges have become the resolve of 130 crore people. That is why by 2047, we will be at the pinnacle, and our languages will play a major role in this journey,' Shah said. Amit Shah calls for civil services reform Amit Shah also said that India's administrative services require a radical transformation, and that the current training model lacks focus on empathy and service. 'A radical change is needed in the training of administrative officers... Rarely are they trained to introduce empathy in our system. Maybe because the British era inspired this training model. I believe that if any ruler or administrator rules without empathy, then they cannot achieve the real objective of governance...' he said.
