PM Modi's foreign policy 'faulty', creating enemies: AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday called the BJP-led NDA government 's foreign policy "faulty" and as a result, India has enemies in all corners. Addressing the 'Samajika Nyaya Samara Bheri,' here, Kharge alleged that PM Modi has travelled to 42 countries in the world, but so far he has not visited Manipur, where people are dying. "His foreign policy is not good, because of which we have enemies from all corners. On one side, there is China and on the other, Pakistan. Today, Nepal is also distancing itself from us. Everybody is moving away from us," said the Congress veteran. He blamed Modi for "ruining" the country's economy during the past 11 years and for "destroying" the Constitution. "If someone gives Modi a cap or a medal he will wear it and go around," he mocked at the PM, demanding that he should care for Indian farmers and people. Live Events "And Modi ji, where are you? He is visiting eight countries, but he's not looking towards his country's people. He is not looking at the farmers of this country," he added.

Modi's national security policy and foreign policy deceived India: Kharge
Questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to national security, AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge said his absence from the all-party meeting on the Pahalgam attack reflected his seriousness. 'While we were speaking for the country's soldiers, Modi was busy campaigning,' he said addressing the 'Samajika Nyaya Samara Bheri,' in Hyderabad on Friday (July 04). Drawing a sharp contrast between past and present leadership, he invoked former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's decisive leadership. 'Indira Gandhi didn't just speak, she acted. She liberated Bangladesh without fear,' Mr. Kharge said, adding, 'Unlike Modi, she didn't apologise to anyone.' The AICC president also faulted the BJP-led Central government's foreign policy and said this had resulted in India creating enemies all around. Apart from China and Pakistan even friendly nations like Nepal are moving away from India, but Mr. Modi is in denial mode everywhere. Mr. Kharge said Mr. Modi is interested in travelling to other countries but not the trouble-hit States like Manipur in our own country. Mr. Modi is more interested in taking medals and caps from others, ignoring the country's woes, he said mocking the Prime Minister's visit to 42 countries so far. The Congress president also accused PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of 'ruining' the country's economy and destroying the Indian Constitution. He wanted to know why the BJP had included the 'Socialist and Secular' words in the party Constitution when the RSS was demanding for the removal of these words from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. 'If you have a problem with the word secular, remove it from your party's constitution,' he challenged the BJP. Referring to the promise of depositing ₹15 lakh in every account, Mr. Kharge said everything Mr. Modi says was a lie and the BJP was best at 'fooling the public with false promises.' Praising the Congress party's role in the development of Hyderabad, he reminded the people that several premier Central institutions in Hyderabad, including top research and academic bodies, were established during the previous Congress regimes. 'The BJP should tell the people what Modi has done for Hyderabad. Congress gave at least 25 institutions to the city,' he said.
