'Moral cowardice': Cong flays PM visit

New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his Israel visit, saying the PM will be displaying "moral cowardice" when the entire world is critical of his "dear friend" and Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said PM Modi is "brazenly embracing" his Israeli counterpart, who has reduced Gaza to rubble and dust.
