NEW DELHI: Congress leader Pawan Khera on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting that his tenure is nearing its end while criticising his governance and international standing.In a post on X, Khera wrote:
- Eleven years and no Press Conference…..
- His term coming to an end.
- His politics globally exposed.
- His governance is in tatters.
- His policies have boomeranged.
- This Prime Minister is a joke.
The remarks came a day after the Congress party accused the Modi government of failing to isolate Pakistan on the world stage following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Khera termed it a “criminal betrayal” of Indian soldiers and citizens.He alleged that instead of punitive measures, Pakistan continues to benefit diplomatically and militarily.“After the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, we expected strong actions and global isolation of Pakistan, but what has actually happened?” Khera said.“China is arming Pakistan with 40 fifth-generation stealth J-35A fighter jets armed with cutting-edge PL-17 missiles. Azerbaijan is investing $2 billion in purchasing 40 Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets,” he mentioned.He further added, “The World Bank has pledged $40 billion for Pakistan’s development. The IMF approved $1 billion bailout to Pakistan. Russia has signed a $2.6 billion agreement to rebuild a steel plant in Karachi.”Khera also pointed out that Pakistan was appointed Vice-Chair of the UN Security Council’s Anti-Terrorism Committee just days after the attack, calling it a serious diplomatic failure.
