“Modi is Indian PM, not star campaigner for US elections” : Cong

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Howdy Modi event amid much fanfare and hullabaloo has received flak from the Congress with its Rajya Sabha MP Anand Sharma hitting out at the PM for campaigning for President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 elections in the United States.

Our relationship with the United States of America have throughout been bipartisan, vis-à-vis Republicans and Democrats. Your actively campaigning for Trump is a breach of both India and America as sovereign nations and democracies.

In a tweet, Sharma said India's relationship with the United States has always been bipartisan, related to Republicans and Democrats. He slammed Modi for openly campaigning for Trump calling it a breach of both India and America as sovereign nations and democracies.

Reminding you that you are in the USA as our Prime Minister and not a star campaigner in US elections.

In another tweet, he reminded Modi that he was representing India as a Prime Minister in the US and not a star campaigner for the forthcoming elections there.

Mr Prime Minister, you have violated the time honoured principle of Indian foreign policy of not interfering in the domestic elections of another country. This is a singular disservice to the long-term strategic interests of India.
