New Delhi: The Indian National Congress has termed Pakistan\u2019s emerging role in facilitating US-Iran peace talks a \u201cmonumental setback\u201d for Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s foreign policy, criticizing the government\u2019s diplomatic approach.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that Pakistan\u2019s engagement in ongoing diplomatic efforts has exposed shortcomings in India\u2019s regional and global strategy. He remarked that Pakistan Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir appearing to gain traction with US President Donald Trump reflects a significant diplomatic shift unfavorable to India.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Congress leader said the Modi government has failed to isolate Pakistan internationally, arguing that New Delhi\u2019s current diplomatic narrative and engagement lack effectiveness. He maintained that the situation underscores the need for a comprehensive overhaul of India\u2019s foreign policy approach.<\/p>\n

Ramesh further criticized Prime Minister Modi, saying he is \u201csimply incapable\u201d of undertaking the necessary changes in India\u2019s diplomatic strategy and tactics.<\/p>\n

The remarks highlight growing domestic criticism within India over its foreign policy direction, particularly at a time when regional dynamics are shifting and diplomatic engagements are evolving. They note that Pakistan\u2019s involvement in international dialogue initiatives, including facilitation efforts, is being viewed by sections of Indian opposition as indicative of changing geopolitical alignments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
