Kharge Slams Modi’s Foreign Policy: “151 Foreign Trips, But India Left Isolated”
New Delhi: In a sharp political attack, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy, accusing him of prioritising photo ops over diplomatic substance, while alleging India remains isolated on key global issues, especially concerning Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kharge said:
“In the last 11 years, PM Modi has made 151 foreign trips and visited 72 countries, including 10 visits to the United States. Yet, when India needed international support to expose Pakistan, not a single country came forward. Is it the PM’s job to only pose for photos abroad?”
Kharge’s post comes in the backdrop of ongoing tensions along the border and recent international developments, including a reported $1.4 billion bailout loan from the IMF to Pakistan, and allegations that the United States brokered a ceasefire during India’s counter-terror operations.
He also expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s repeated public claims of brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, stating:
“The US President has said, not once but seven times, that he ‘brokered’ the ceasefire. Why is Modi ji silent? The nation deserves clarity.”
Further questioning the government’s stance, Kharge added:
“Our brave Armed Forces were taking decisive action against terrorists, and suddenly a ceasefire was declared. The entire country stood united in support of our troops, but the Modi government is withholding the truth from the people.”
