NEW DELHI: Slamming the Modi government for its ‘failed foreign policy’, the Congress on Friday claimed that India has become isolated in global stage and “our all-weather friends are distancing themselves from us”.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said that the “biggest failure” of the government’s foreign policy was its inability to arrange meetings of its delegations sent abroad with heads of states or influential people and asked what the country got out of the exercise.
The Opposition alleged that India is being “insulted” all over the world due to the “failed foreign policy” of the Modi government.
The situation is such that now even Russia also believes that the US mediated a ceasefire, Shrinate said, referring to a claim made by Vladimir Putin’s aide that the recent conflict between India and Pakistan figured during a phone call between the Russian president and Trump and that the hostilities were “stopped with the personal participation” of the US president.
“But even today no one knows... why was the ceasefire done? What were the conditions of the ceasefire? Why were the hands of our army tied? The reality is that the silence of the ‘surrender’ prime minister is screaming that he has done the ceasefire under pressure,” Shrinate said.
Before 2014, India had isolated Pakistan and started treating it like a terrorist country, she claimed.
The party’s social media department head also claimed that big countries are being seen in India’s enemy’s camp and Pakistan which “we had completely sidelined is roaming around like a hero today”.
“It is getting the opportunity to be represented in global institutions, global institutions are giving it financial aid. Prime Minister Modi did not even glance towards Kashmir in the last 45 days, but today he has reached Kashmir to cut the ribbon,” said Shrinate.
