Congress asks PM Modi to clarify Trump’s praise for ‘killer’ Field Marshal Asim Munir

NEW DELHI: With US President Donald Trump calling Pakistani general Asim Munir “my favourite Field Marshal” at a summit of world leaders in Egypt, Congress on Tuesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to clarify what kind of friendship he shares with the American leader who lauds a Pakistani, one who is a “killer of Indians”. The party demanded that PM Modi clear the air on Trump’s objectionable remarks.Congress MP Manickam Tagore said Munir has overseen terror plots and cross-border attacks against India. “Under Modi’s watch, the world is not standing with India, it’s now praising those who target India. This is not diplomacy, this is disaster.”AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh said Trump and PM Modi call each other “good friends”, but their friendship is strange considering Trump had hosted Munir for lunch at the White House in June and then met him again in September.“This was the Field Marshal whose inflammatory and communally poisonous remarks provided the backdrop to the Pahalgam terror attacks orchestrated by Pakistan on April 22, 2025. Now in Egypt, Trump called Munir ‘my favourite Field Marshal’ and gave a special place to the PM of Pakistan. What kind of signal is President Trump sending to India, in spite of Modi’s desperate attempts to ingratiate himself with the US President?” he asked.Tagore said, “Where is the ‘strong leader’ who claimed he would isolate Pakistan internationally? When India’s enemies are being endorsed and our PM remains silent, it’s clear that Modi’s foreign policy has collapsed.”
