In recent statements, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh described U.S. President Donald Trump's positive gesture towards Pakistan after Operation Sindoor as a setback for Indian diplomacy.

Referencing Dr. Paul Miller's book on U.S.-Afghan engagement, Ramesh pointed out Pakistan's complex role in America's Afghan struggles.
