11 Yrs and no press conference: Cong attacks Modi, alleges diplomatic failures amid Pak developments
New Delhi: Congress leader Pawan Khera on Sunday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging failures in governance and diplomacy while claiming that Modi’s term was nearing its end.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Khera wrote:
“Eleven years and no Press Conference…..
His term coming to an end.
His politics globally exposed.
His governance is in tatters.
His policies have boomeranged.
This Prime Minister is a joke.”
The statement followed criticism from the Congress over the Centre’s response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Khera accused the Modi government of a “criminal betrayal” of Indian soldiers and citizens, citing the failure to diplomatically isolate Pakistan.
“After the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, we expected strong actions and global isolation of Pakistan, but what has actually happened?” he asked.
He highlighted several developments strengthening Pakistan’s global position:
-
China arming Pakistan with 40 fifth-generation J-35A stealth jets equipped with PL-17 missiles
-
Azerbaijan investing $2 billion in 40 Pakistani JF-17 fighter aircraft
-
A $40 billion World Bank pledge for Pakistan’s development
-
IMF approving a $1 billion bailout
-
Russia signing a $2.6 billion deal to rebuild a steel plant in Karachi
Khera also referred to Pakistan being appointed Vice-Chair of the UN Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee just days after the Pahalgam attack, terming it a “serious diplomatic failure.”
Eleven years and no Press Conference…..

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
