Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday questioned the central government over US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of talking to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Russian oil purchase. Noting that Trump has reiterated his claims three times in the past five days, Ramesh said that number is expected to increase as he prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest this weekend.
Congress on Wednesday took a dig at the phone conversation between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of Diwali, saying that the Prime Minister hides things, while Trump exposes them. Trump called the Prime Minister on the occasion of Diwali and wished him. “The Prime Minister has finally publicly acknowledged that President Trump had called him and that the two had a conversation,” Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh posted on Twitter. But the Prime Minister only told that the US President wished him a happy Diwali.

He said, “Even before this, President Trump had announced to stop Operation Sindoor on the evening of May 10, even before Prime Minister Modi.”
