Aam Aadmi Party has gone after the central government and Prime Minister Modi with a sharp post on the social media platform X. The party alleges that the government has stayed quiet on a serious matter, even as the United States is sending India strongly worded messages.
The Party's Allegation
In its post, the party said that 3 Indian youths were killed in a strike carried out by the United States. Despite the gravity of the incident, the party claims, PM Modi has not said even a single word about it. This is the core of the party's criticism — that there has been no response from the highest level even as young Indians lost their lives.
Rubio's Reported Warning
The post went on to claim that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now sending a sternly worded message to India's Minister of External Affairs. In this context, the party highlighted the line:
“all commercial vessels should immediately comply with”
Through this contrast, the party seeks to show that while the government remains silent over the deaths of Indian youths, the United States is at the same time issuing directives and warnings to India.
Public Reaction
Many of the replies to the post questioned the government's alleged silence and demanded accountability, while some also commented on the political motives at play. Overall, the discussion centred on the view that the government should speak openly on such a sensitive matter.
