Congress Criticizes Modi's Foreign Policy After Pakistan's Mediation Role

The Congress party on Sunday criticized the Modi government's foreign policy, claiming Pakistan's emerging role as a broker in West Asia signifies a significant failure of India's diplomatic strategies. They assert this position reveals flaws in Modi's heavily personality-driven international relations approach.

The Congress, referencing a more aggressive stance from nations like the US in previous administrations, highlighted perceived failures in India's diplomatic engagements. They suggest the Modi government's handling of foreign affairs has not only failed to capitalize on military successes but also allowed Pakistan's diplomatic stature to inadvertently rise.

Highlighting examples such as the Howdy Modi event and perceived compromises in trade agreements with the US, the Congress suggests these efforts have not delivered the leverage or influence intended. They argue that Pakistan's current role in mediating West Asian conflicts marks a diplomatic setback for India.
