India stands alone under Modi govt’s foreign policy, says Kharge
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday claimed the country stands alone under Prime Minister Narendra Modi government’s foreign policy.
The Opposition, including the Congress, had stood behind the government in taking action against Pakistan following Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead on April 22. However, in the last few days after the flare-up ended with Pakistan, the Congress has started posing questions before the government.
Kharge said PM Modi had been making frequent foreign trips for the last 11 years, but when India needed international support to expose Pakistan, no other country came forward to support us.
"In the last 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has made 151 foreign trips and visited 72 countries. Out of these, he has visited the US 10 times. Yet, 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.
Kharge also referred to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recent bailout to Pakistan. “The IMF has provided a bailout loan of $1.4 billion to Pakistan. But nobody supported India’s stance,” he said.
The Congress president also questioned the government over US brokered ceasefire with Pakistan. “Modi ji is trying to cover up the issue by not providing clarity to the people of the country regarding US President Trump's statements, so far,” he said.
