India's top minister urged unity on U.S. policy, warning against political blame that undermines diplomacy.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju urged the Congress to avoid politicizing India’s response to U.S. policies under President Trump, including tariffs and H-1B visa changes, stressing national unity on foreign policy matters. He supported former diplomat Kanwal Sibal’s criticism of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for blaming Prime Minister Modi, arguing such actions weaken India’s global stance. Sibal noted Trump’s tough approach toward multiple allies and emphasized India’s principled, independent foreign policy. The government expressed concern over the humanitarian impact of visa rule changes and called for constructive dialogue. While some highlight the personal toll on Indian professionals, officials stress the need for diplomatic resilience and responsible discourse across political lines.
