Visit to promote private business interest: Cong
New Delhi, Dec 26, 2015, DHNS
The Congress on Friday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surprise visit to Pakistan and accused him of adopting a “cavalier” approach to foreign policy.
Rejecting assertions that Modi’s “spontaneous” stopover in Lahore was “statesman-like”, AICC spokesman Anand Sharma claimed the meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was “pre-arranged and pre-discussed” through a mediation by an Indian industrialist.
Sharma, who served as a minister in the previous UPA II government, dubbed the foreign policy conduct of the Modi government as “frivolous, unpredictable, abrupt and prone to U-turns”.
He said the PM has not gone to Lahore to take forward the roadmap to engage with Pakistan or build an understanding that would eliminate immediate threats of terror or punishing those behind the Mumbai 26/11 attacks.
