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…..
