The Congress on Monday (April 27, 2026) described as “shameful” the absence of a joint statement following last week’s BRICS+ meeting in the capital, alleging that India’s insistence on diluting language on Israel and Palestine prevented a consensus among member countries.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed that India’s position was unacceptable to several BRICS+ members, resulting in the failure to issue a joint communiqué after the April 23–24 meeting of deputy foreign ministers and special envoys.
