Saamana: Modi’s Foreign Trips Criticized, Foreign Policy Called ‘Crawling’

Saamana, the Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece, has published an article criticizing Prime Minister Modi’s recent foreign visits to Japan and China. The article questions the purpose of these trips and suggests that the PM’s popularity overseas, as evidenced by the enthusiastic welcome from Indian diaspora members, is a false representation. The publication also targets Modi’s domestic standing, claiming his reputation is tarnished and his credibility eroded. It accuses him of obtaining power through undemocratic means. The article also questions the significance of the PM’s conversation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, particularly in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The publication criticizes the lack of progress in ending the conflict. Saamana further comments on the current state of the Indian economy and the government’s foreign policy. It claims that the foreign policy is still in its infancy.
