In fact, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge targeted PM Modi on Saturday (September 20, 2025) on the issue of action taken by the US administration on the H-1B visa. Kharge had said in his post on the X handle, ‘Indian President Donald Trump has given a lot of trouble with the gifts given to Prime Minister Modi after calling on his birthday.

Kharge lashed out at the closeness of Modi and Trump, saying, ‘Hugging and shouting hollow slogans are not called foreign policy. Foreign policy means protecting the interests of the country, keeping India first and maintaining friendship and balance.
