Speaking to reporters, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, "Has the government used any diplomatic, economic, educational or any power to immediately get this reversed apart from 'jumle baazi'. This is on the face of it a perverse decision. We don't need to speak on it from a position of weakness. India needs to shout loud and clear and we need to force the US to roll back such a ridiculous, midstream decision but the government seems clueless."
