India, Sept. 7 -- Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's friendship with US President Donald Trump has caused damage to India, saying the alliance had left the country weaker abroad and divided at home.

"Trump and Modi can be friends, but Modi has become an enemy of the nation. He spoiled the atmosphere. Trump imposed a huge tariff. After a 50% tariff, he destroyed our people," Kharge told reporters. "The nation comes first and your friendship is secondary."
