Asked about Trump\u2019s criticism of the Indian economy, Gandhi said, \u201cHe is right, everybody knows this except the prime minister and the finance minister, Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe External Affairs Minister gives a speech that we have a genius foreign policy. On one hand, the US is abusing you and on the other hand China is after, and thirdly when you send delegations across the globe then no country condemns Pakistan. How are they running the country? They don\u2019t know how to run the country,\u201d Gandhi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
