Rahul Gandhi's 'weak' jibe at PM Modi over H1B visa fee hike

The United States administration's decision to levy an additional one lakh dollar fee on H-1B visas has ignited a domestic political conflict in India. The Congress party has mounted an attack on the government, with Rahul Gandhi reiterating his description of Narendra Modi as a "weak Prime Minister". The opposition party claims it had forewarned the Prime Minister about potential changes to the H-1B visa rules as far back as 2017. Following the US announcement, Rahul Gandhi reportedly re-shared his previous statement, saying, "I want to repeat that India has a weak PM." Congress asserts that while Donald Trump is insulting India, Prime Minister Modi remains silent, prompting the entire country to question the government's handling of the situation and its foreign policy.
