Congress leader Pawan Khera came down heavily on the BJP-led NDA government over the foreign policy and diplomacy tactics, claiming that the dispensation’s so called “muscular foreign policy” has collapsed under its own PR.
Taking a jibe at the BJP’s government, the Congress leader went on to say “India is loud at home but lonely abroad.”
In a social media post on X, Khera pointed out several developments that according to him led to the “collapse” of India’s foreign policy, including funding to Pakistan from different world forums and organisations, China’s backing to Pakistan, Nepal’s claim on India’s Kalapani territory, OIC’s stance on Jammu and Kashmir and several others.
Khera posted, “Saudi Arabia suspending visas for 14 countries, including India, is just the latest blow in a steady collapse of India’s foreign policy under Modi. China blocked naming the attackers at the UN. Pakistan won the backing from China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and Malaysia, all demanding a “fair probe.”
He further pointed out, “India’s global standing is crumbling: 1. G7 excluded India over the Canada-Khalistan fallout. G20 saw no breakthrough. 2. Maldives turns hostile with “India-Out” and a pro-China pivot 3. Sri Lanka and, Maldives lease strategic assets to Beijing 4. Nepal redrew its map to claim Indian territory 5. OIC and West Asia keep attacking India over Kashmir and Muslim rights 6. SCO and BRICS are now mouthpieces for China 7. Russia signs military and energy deals with Pakistan”
The social media post added, “Meanwhile, Pakistan, despite economic collapse, bags $20B from World Bank, $1B from the IMF, $800M from ADB, tightens ties with Russia, and hijacks the Kashmir narrative. Turkey even sent a warship in its support. Iran offered to mediate. Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia echoed Islamabad’s line.”
“This dispensation’s so-called muscular foreign policy has collapsed under its PR. India is loud at home but lonely abroad,” Khera alleged.
