NEW DELHI: The Congress launched a blistering attack on the Modi-led government on Thursday, accusing it of presiding over a total collapse of India's foreign policy, leaving the country diplomatically isolated on the global stage.

Addressing a press conference, party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, "It is a complete collapse of India's foreign policy. It's no longer just former US President Donald Trump taking credit for mediating the India-Pakistan ceasefire—now even our all-weather ally Russia echoes the same," Shrinate said.

The Congress leader also criticised the govt's much-publicised multi-party delegations sent abroad, claiming they achieved nothing of substance. "None of the delegations met heads of state, nor did any country issue a statement in India's favour or against Pakistan," she said. "This failure rests squarely with the foreign affairs ministry."
