All-in-all expert and political commentator Sumanth Raman’s rants over the past few days with regard to the stoppage of firing and the press briefings prove he is the greatest Congress sympathizer in the country.

When the news of the stoppage of fire, which was referred to as “ceasefire understanding” by everyone that came after US President Donald Trump’s hurried announcement, Raman, after the press briefing by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, called it “Sensible”.

Without paying heed to the minute details and confirmation from the Indian side about the talks, Raman whined about the “government agreeing to talks at a ‘neutral’ location. He wrote, “Talks at a neutral site??? Has our Govt agreed to that also??”

Then he began to complain about “international support,” and no one took India’s side. He wrote, “There is no escaping the fact that when push came to shove not one country took India’s side unequivocally. Not ONE. So much for our diplomacy and foreign policy. #IndiaPakistanConflict”

Then came his rant about how the Pahalgam terrorists were still at large and the Modi government, the diplomats, had done nothing. He wrote, “The terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam massacre are still at large. Despite being hit, Pakistan was still able to mount some retaliation. Pakistan was not isolated diplomatically. They still got the IMF aid package. I’m trying to think of what we got out of all this, that we have paid for with more lives than the 26 we lost at Pahalgam and billions of dollars worth of defence equipment spent, and the damage to some of our towns. Next time there is a terror attack, how will it be any different, even if we retaliate against Pakistan directly? I support the ceasefire, but I’m confused about what the strategic objective of the larger military action beyond the strike on the terrorist hideouts was and what has been achieved. My impression is that our armed forces performed well, but our diplomats and political leadership could have done much better. And the ceasefire was agreed to without any conditions imposed on Pakistan. The only positive I see is that Pakistan knows that the next time it stages a terror attack in India, there will be direct retaliation on Pakistani territory. For a rogue State like Pakistan is that enough of a deterrent? #IndiaPakistanConflict #Ceasefire”

He ensured he peddled Pakistani propaganda and undermined military actions.

Now, he had to give his expert comments on the press briefing. With the stellar military briefing on 11 May 2025, he compared it to the previous ones by Col Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh. He wrote, “Getting Col.Sofia Qureshi and Wg.Cmdr. Vyomika Singh to give the press briefing was a good idea on the day after the strike on the terrorist bases. It was symbolic and sent out a signal. But from then on the subsequent briefings should have been handled by Senior Officers. It was clear that the two of them were only reading prepared text, didn’t explain the visuals properly and did not take questions. MOD should have insisted that their point of view must be put across by senior officers of their choice. Our communication of the Military operation could have been better. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire”

Raman forgot that the previous ones were press briefings while the latest one was a military briefing. He also wrote, “After seeing today’s press briefing it begs the question, why weren’t these officers used earlier to brief the media? The craze for publicity and PR did the Govt in. #IndiaPakistanConflict”

Now that he could not blame the military action, he started complaining about the “de-escalation” in India’s stand after praising the stoppage of fire as “sensible”. He wrote, “From “we will decimate Pakistan” to “we will not share hydrological data with Pakistan” is some come down in 4 days. Godi media’s desperate spin. #IndiaPakistanConflict”

Sumanth Raman stays true to his character yet again even during a time of conflict by ensuring he criticises the government routinely without fail.
