New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of silence over the death of three Indian mariners in an attack by the US on a commercial vessel amid tensions in West Asia and said "silence is not a substitute for accountability".
In a post on X, Kharge accused the Modi government of "belittling India's global standing and sovereignty" and alleged that "national interests are being surrendered on a daily basis".
