Ramesh claimed that India's 'Vishwa Guru' image has taken a hit following tensions with Pakistan.

He further argued that the delegation's visit to key partner countries to highlight India's ongoing fight against cross-border terrorism and Operation Sindoor would have been more appropriate if it had come after an all-party meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Congress party believes that an all-party meeting should have been done before this and PM Modi should have chaired the meeting...Our second demand was to hold a special session of the Parliament to discuss the issues of the relationship between China and Pakistan," Ramesh told.
