New Delhi, April 26: Mallikarjun Kharge, the head of the Congress, criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday for not acting to save the lives of eight Navy veterans who are facing the death penalty in Qatar.
He mentioned that Indians make up the majority of Qatar’s expatriate population and that this year marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Qatar.
“Eight veterans of the Indian Navy, kept in solitary confinement in Qatar since August 2022, face death sentence. MEA says that ‘the charges have not been shared so far’, with India,” he said on Twitter.
“Modi Government’s meek surrender has exposed their tall claims of making India a ‘Vishwaguru’,” he said.
