Modi’s foreign policy driven by US and Israel, not India’s interests: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi: Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that India’s foreign policy has become compromised and is being driven by personal considerations rather than national interest.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a strongly worded remark, Rahul Gandhi said Modi’s decisions are influenced by foreign powers, particularly the United States and Israel. “I can give it to you in writing — PM Modi will do whatever the United States and Israel ask him to. He can never make decisions in India’s interest. They will not work in the interests of the farmers,” he told reporters outside the Indian parliament, today.
Gandhi further argued that India’s foreign policy had become “the Prime Minister’s personal foreign policy,” with its global standing significantly weakened. He pointed out that world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, are aware of the limitations of the Modi’s decision-making.
“If the Prime Minister is compromised, then our foreign policy is also compromised. It is obvious, and everyone can see that,” he said.
Targeting the Modi government over its recent international engagements, the Congress leader said that the Prime Minister had failed to present a coherent stance in Parliament. “He gave an irrelevant speech yesterday. There is no clear stance at all,” Gandhi said, warning that the consequences of such policies would be felt by the public.
He further said that economic pressures would mount in the coming days, affecting essential commodities. “Unfortunately, people will suffer. This is just the beginning. There will be problems in LPG, petrol, fertilisers — everything,” he said.
Earlier, Gandhi also took to X, reiterating his criticism. “The country’s foreign policy is compromised today because the Prime Minister himself is compromised. Modi only does what the United States and Israel want him to do. He can never make decisions in India’s interest — and this is clearly visible,” he posted.
