Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked the BJP-led Central government over the death of three Indian sailors, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi should raise the issue with US President Donald Trump during the G7 Summit.
India is participating in the G7 Summit as a partner country, marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's seventh consecutive appearance at the gathering.
Priyanka Gandhi said it was surprising that India was not more outspoken about the incident, where three Indian sailors were killed in a US military strike on the commercial tanker MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman.
The vessel came under attack after US forces accused it of violating the ongoing naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Of the 24 Indian crew members on board, 21 were rescued, while three were later confirmed dead.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had sharply criticised the United States and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over US Navy strikes on an oil ship in the Gulf that killed three Indian sailors.
The Ministry of External Affairs had summoned the US Charge d'Affaires, Jason Meeks, to lodge a strong protest against the ongoing attacks on commercial vessels off the coast of Oman.
