Congress Demands Action After Indian Student’s US Detainment: A Call for Modi-Trump Talks

A recent video depicting an Indian student being handcuffed and restrained by US authorities has sparked outrage in India, with the Congress party leading the charge against the government’s perceived inaction. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh leveled strong criticism at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the BJP government of failing to adequately protect the honor and safety of Indian citizens abroad.

Ramesh’s statement highlights a growing concern over the incident and calls for immediate intervention. The party is demanding that Prime Minister Modi engage directly with US President Trump to address the issue and ensure such incidents are not repeated. The Indian consulate in New York is reportedly working with local authorities to investigate the matter and support the affected student.

This incident underscores the anxieties felt by many Indians concerning the treatment of their citizens overseas and raises questions about the efficacy of diplomatic efforts to protect their interests. The call for a high-level intervention reflects the seriousness with which this incident is being viewed within India.
