The ruling party has lashed out at the opposition for skipping a high-profile state dinner organized in honour of a visiting foreign head of state calling their absence politically motivated and questioning their foreign-policy priorities.
At a press conference, the party spokesperson noted that a senior opposition MP was present, implying the boycott was selective and symbolic rather than principled. According to the ruling side, the absence of key opposition leaders reflects a lack of respect for diplomatic protocol and national interest.
With tensions rising, the dinner — meant to be a symbol of diplomacy and unity has instead sparked a bitter political row, underscoring the fragile intersection of domestic politics and high-stakes foreign engagements in today’s India.
