Congress slams govt for not demanding US apology on Indian sailors' killing IANSJun 13, 2026 10:380 New Delhi, June 13 (IANS) The Congress said on Saturday that India should have demanded -- and received -- an unconditional apology for the killing of three young Indian sailors in an American military strike in the Gulf. Pawan Khera, All India Congress Committee Media and Publicity Department Chairman, faulted the Indian government for not taking a firm stand on the issue. In a message on social media platform X, Khera said, "Instead, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly chose to issue a warning, declaring that failure to comply with the orders of the US military 'will not be tolerated'. That is the language of command, not contrition." "There was no acknowledgement of the lives lost, no acceptance of responsibility, and no apology," he added. "What makes the episode even more embarrassing was New Delhi's response. Rather than calling the strike what it was, the External Affairs Minister merely observed that lethal actions against commercial shipping are 'not justified'," Khera said. "'Not justified'? That is the phrase you use for an overpriced airport sandwich, not …

'Obedient servant, complies with orders': Rahul Gandhi slams PM Modi ... Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the US’ statements after three Indian sailors were killed in American attacks, saying “our compromised PM” listens like an “obedient servant” and complies with the “orders”. Gandhi also said that “a compromised PM” will not defend the nation’s honour because he is beholden to those who insult the country. His remarks come a day after the US said it conveyed to India that any violation of its blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and illicit transport of Iranian oil will not be tolerated. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio conveyed this to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who spoke with him on Friday to lodge a strong protest against the death of Indian nationals in US attacks on ships off the coast of Oman.

His admiration for PM appears to have transcended physical world ... PTI New Delhi, The Congress on Saturday slammed party member Shashi Tharoor over his "admiration" for Narendra Modi , saying it appears to have transcended the physical world as he now seems capable of hearing what the prime minister never even said. Tharoor, the party's Thiruvananthapuram MP, however, said he found it extraordinary that a statement about protecting Indian civilian sailors was given a partisan twist. "PM Modi made his point clear both in the public and private meetings with the President. It is important to convey the message that in wartime, civilian sailors on commercial ships should not be targets of combat. They are not soldiers, and that is the message PM Modi conveyed," Tharoor reportedly said. Asked about the comments, Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said at a press conference that he had not seen Tharoor's statement but he had also not seen in the India-US joint statement a mention of the killing of three Indian sailors by the United States in the Gulf of Oman, challenging of Trump's repeated claim on halting Operation Sindoor, and the attack on Iranian frigate I…
