Indian opposition leaders criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Pakistan gains momentum in global diplomacy.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s recent diplomatic gains on the global stage have sparked debate in India, with critics arguing that New Delhi’s efforts to isolate Islamabad have failed. Analysts say the developments have challenged the foreign policy approach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to Indian media reports, even domestic voices have begun questioning the government’s strategy, suggesting that India’s regional dominance narrative is weakening. The criticism highlights concerns over shifting geopolitical dynamics in South Asia.
Senior opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said the current leadership has “made a mockery” of India’s foreign policy, alleging that decisions are increasingly influenced by global powers rather than independent strategy.
Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera criticized the ruling party, accusing it of celebrating perceived victories while Pakistan is strengthening its position at key diplomatic forums.
Observers note that the evolving situation reflects intensifying political divisions within India, alongside broader regional shifts where diplomatic engagement and alliances continue to reshape influence across South Asia.
