Manickam Tagore questions PM Modi’s silence after Trump’s claims

"Donald Trump has said it again. And yet--silence from PM Modi. When the Leader of Opposition asked in Parliament for just one word of clarification, Modi chose to stay mute. Modi, who speaks at length on anything and everything, falls completely silent when it comes to Trump's repeated claims. Why this fear? Why this silence? If Trump is wrong, say it. If he is right, explain it. But Modi hides in silence, while India's credibility suffers. This is not statesmanship it is surrender. India deserves a Prime Minister who can speak for the nation with courage, not one who cowers in silence whenever questioned," Tagore posted on X.

What about Maharashtra and Bihar, both ruled by the so-called "double engine" government? Shouldn't he look at them first before pointing fingers at Bengal?"
