The prime minister has also spoken to the heads of Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. New Delhi has not expressed the same degree of solidarity with Iran that the Prime Minister conveyed to the rulers of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must clarify whether he supports the assassination of a head of state as a means of defining the global order.
