New Delhi, March 7 -- Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Saturday slammed the Centre after United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated that Washington DC has granted India the 30-day "permission" to purchase Russian oil.

Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi "cowardly and compromised," Ramesh said that the US has given the NDA government a "certificate to follow US President Donald Trump's orders."

Sharing Scott Bessent's interview with Fox Business, the Congress MP wrote on X, "The US Treasury Secretary has given the Modi government its certificate for faithfully following President Trump's orders! Does anything more need to be said about how cowardly and compromised the self-proclaimed 56-inch chest has become?"
