‘Trading away honour’: Congress slams PM Modi after reports of India seeking US waiver on Russian oil
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday launched a sharp attack on PM Modi, accusing him of “trading away India’s honour and dignity” over reports that India has sought an extension from the US to continue importing Russian oil amid ongoing global energy disruptions.
According to reports, the current US authorisation allowing India to import Russian crude is set to expire on May 16. The waiver was first approved in March and later expanded to help stabilise global oil markets by allowing additional crude supplies.
