That is true. For some reason they only want India to say something. What is the need? We are doing what we want to.
Trump has changed his statements at least 5 times on this issue since August 2025. For us it is more of a dignified silence from government.
Most recently US said India has stopped, India showed it never did and the US said we allowed India. Clearly it is for their face saving but no we have to blame Indian government..
There could be some real issues, like not detail shared on how will energy challenge be faced. But I guess they know, GOI will give it, so they are using rhetoric instead
Govt has repeatedly said that india has not stopped buying russian oil and that it does not need america’s permission to trade with any country. This has been clarified through multiple official and media sources. But for some people, facts dont matter. Their only agenda is to make the indian govt look bad as if that will somehow help them win the next election. They would rather believe an orange baboon who changes his statements every other day if it helps them push their narrative.
The hypocrisy becomes even clearer when you look at their past claims. When india was facing tariff threats because of russian oil, these same people were accusing the govt of risking india’s national interest just to benefit ambani, even though ambani owns only 2 refinery out of 23 in india, while most others are govt owned.
But the moment the US claimed that india had stopped buying russian oil, the same people flipped their narrative again and started saying modi had sold india to america, india is a puppet state of america and all the usual nonsense.
In both cases, the reality was different. The only thing consistent is their desperation to twist every situation to attack the govt. With tactics like this, they are not going to win anything, they are only ensuring they remain in opposition for a very long time.
