In 2013, US mistreated an Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade, in New York.
Manmohan Singh hit back hard and took bulldozer action against the US embassy in New Delhi in retaliation to that.
Indian govt also halted commercial activities at the US embassy.
Indian MPs even refused to meet a visiting US Delegation as an act of protest.
Still Modi ran his 2014 campaign calling him maun-mohan (silent-manmohan)
Fast forward to 2026, US attacked a ship in which 3 Indian nationals lost their lives.
But bakbak-modi instead of showing his much advertised 56” chest, is saying Thank You to Trump for calling him a great leader.
New India 😊

*PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF ATTACK ON MV CHEM PLUTO : INDIAN NAVY
MV Chem Pluto, (Liberian Flag Chemical/lOil Tanker), carrying 21 Indian and 01
Vietnamese crew, earlier reported as attacked by suspected drone on 23 Dec 23, *reached Mumbai* and anchored safely at Outer Anchorage off Mumbai at *1530hr on 25 Dec 23*.
*On her arrival, the Indian Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal team inspected the vessel to make a preliminary assessment of the type and nature of attack.*
*Analysis of the area of attack and debris found on the ship points towards a drone attack*. However, *further forensic and technical analysis will be required* _to establish the vector of attack_, including type and amount of explosive used.
A *Joint Investigation* by various agencies has *commenced on completion of the analysis by the Navy's Explosive Ordnance Team*.
MV Chem Pluto has been cleared for further operation by her company-in-charge
at Mumbai.
The ship is scheduled to undergo mandatory checks by the various inspecting
authorities before undertaking Ship to Ship (STS) transfer of cargo.
This is likely to be followed by docking and repairs of the damaged portion
of MV Chem Pluto.
*Considering the recent spate of attacks in the Arabian Sea, Indian Navy has deployed Guided Missile Destroyers, INS Mormugao, INS Kochi and INS Kolkata (Guided Missile Destroyers) in various areas to maintain a deterrent presence*.
Long-range maritime reconnaissance P8I aircraft are being regularly tasked to maintain domain awareness.
Western Naval Command's Maritime Operations Centre is actively monitoring the situation in close coordination with Coast Guard and all concerned agencies.
India's military is battling a serious threat to India's economy
Rebel groups are attacking our vital trade routes
A key Indian partner might be involved

When US realised Middle east is having Issues and its strategic petroleum reserves are at record lows, it is now ready to sort out its issues with Venezuela to bring their oil to Market... So this Big Bully changes the game based on their benefits, but When India buys from Russia, they have issue? And they think world doesnt understand this, its good that Venezuelan Oil will come to market, it will help reducing monopoly of OPEC and reduce Energy Inflation, but it shouldnt be only for convenience of US.... #StockMarketindia #StockMarket #OPEC #Oil #DowJones
