SHABD, Delhi | December 5: Russian President Vladimir Putin began his two-day India visit with a private dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, followed by a ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The leaders later held bilateral talks that culminated in several significant agreements aimed at strengthening strategic cooperation.
However, amid the diplomatic engagements, controversy broke out after the official Congress Kerala X account posted derogatory remarks related to the meeting. The handle, known for frequently courting controversy, appeared aggrieved over not being included in any interaction with the visiting head of state. Its choice of words—widely viewed as abusive and disrespectful towards President Putin—triggered immediate backlash.
Observers across political and diplomatic circles condemned the remarks, calling them an affront to a long-standing partner nation with which India shares deep historical ties. Critics argued that such commentary reflects a worrying disregard for India’s foreign policy priorities and undermines the decorum expected in national political discourse.
The post has since intensified debate over the tone of online political communication, with many expressing concern that partisan frustration is increasingly giving way to personal attacks and undignified language.
