Congress says U.S. law on Russian oil purchase is an ‘affront’ to India’s sovereignty
The Indian National Congress has condemned a U.S. law that restricts purchases of Russian oil, calling it an affront to India’s sovereignty. Party general secretary K.C. Venugopal said the measure amounts to aggressive bullying by a strategic partner. He contrasted this with the recent BRICS summit’s joint declaration, which the government is presenting as evidence of global confidence in India.
