India stands alone under PM Modi’s foreign policy: Congress president Kharge

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday claimed the country stands alone under Prime Minister Narendra Modi government’s foreign policy.

The Opposition, including Congress had stood behind the government in taking action against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. However, in the last few days after the flare-up ended with Pakistan, the Congress has started posing questions before the government.

In the latest, Congress chief Kharge said, “Prime Minister Modi has made 151 foreign trips and visited 72 countries in years. Out of these, he has visited the US 10 times. But when India needed international support to expose Pakistan, no other country came forward to support us. Our country stands alone under the Modi government’s foreign policy. Is it the Prime Minister’s job to visit foreign countries and only pose for photos?" he added.

“The IMF has provided a bailout loan of $1.4 billion to Pakistan. But nobody supported India’s stance," he said.

He also questioned the government over the US-brokered ceasefire with Pakistan. “A ceasefire was suddenly declared while our armed forces were conducting operations against terrorists. The US President has insulted our country by repeatedly saying, “I brokered" the ceasefire. The entire country was united in the tough action against terrorists, but Modi ji is trying to cover up the issue by not providing clarity to the people of the country regarding Trump’s statements, so far," he said.
