Lalu Takes Dig At Narendra Modi Govt On Pathankot Attack

02 January, Patna

RJD chief Lalu Prasad, a strong critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s foreign policy, sought to put the Centre in the dock after terrorists’ attack at Air Force base in Pathankot this morning.

Prasad in a bid to embarrass the Modi government told newspersons here, “Not right to question foreign policy right now, stand with our soldiers in this fight.”

The RJD chief renewed his attack on the Narendra Modi government`s foreign policy by taking a leaf from Modi brief stopover at Lahore recently to congratulate his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his birthday.

To pre-empt any chance of facing criticism for politicising the Pathankot attack, Prasad took special care to express his solidarity with soldiers in this fight. In his earlier attacks, Prasad had also targeted Modi for “deteriorating relationship” with Nepal and his government failure to check discrimination and marginalisation of Madheshis in Nepal.

The RJD chief said Mr Modi only spoiled India`s relationship with Nepal during his visit to the Himalayan kingdom. He had also expressed doubts over the Modi government`s foreign policy, stating that the future of the country`s relationship with other countries was also uncertain
