Lok Sabha : Cong flays Govt for its foreign policy, asks for consensus-based road map

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IBNS) : Criticising the Narendra Modi Government for its foreign policy, particularly in regard to China and Pakistan, the Congress on Thursday demanded a consensus-based road map.

Kickstarting the discussion, senior Congress member Anand Sharma said while India has "rightful aspirations" to play leadership roles, the tension in the relationship with Pakistan and China hinders the way ahead.

"Unless we manage our neighbourhood well, it is impossible to play neither a regional nor global role," he said.

Raising the issue of cross border attacks, terrorism and killing of soldiers, Sharma said  India has succeeded in "de-hyphenating" India and Pakistan.

"The real concern is that the hyphenation is back, because many countries have commented their intent to mediate between us. China has made this statement,"he said.

" The Prime Minister repeatedly says we have isolated Pakistan. A mature country doesn't make such statements," Sharma said.

"Isolation is factually incorrect. Pakistan has economic relations with China and Turkey. They have defence ties with Russia. Where is isolation? What is the roadmap of the Government?" he said.
