NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, on Thursday slammed the Centre over US President Donald Trump's claim that India will stop buying oil from Russia.
The Congress leader's reaction comes even as the Centre is yet to respond to Trump's latest claims.
Trump has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "great man" and India as "an incredible country", adding that he is open to meeting the Prime Minister on the sidelines of the upcoming ASEAN Summit in Malaysia.
Trump also claimed that he has been "assured" that India won't be buying oil from Russia, while adding that he understands that it can't be done "immediately".
