'Can't we question foreign policy?' CM Mann doubles down over PM Modi's foreign trips despite MEA's rebuke

PTC News Desk: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has doubled down his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign trips in Punjab Assembly while questioning Centre's foreign policy and the recent row over a Pakistani actor's role in Diljit Dosanjh’s film.


Responding to the MEA’s criticism, Mann said, “Don’t we have the right to ask the PM what foreign policy is? Who has supported us? Then why are you moving around?”

While speaking on the discussion on the resolution tabled before the house, Mann launched a scathing attack on PM Modi's foreign strips while mockingly addressing the names of the countries. 

“I again say that the PM goes to Magnesia, Galvesia, Tarvesia. Their population is less than 10,000 and claims to get their highest civilian honour. The number of people who reside in these countries are equal to the number of people who gather when a JCB is deployed for work in India. There are 140 crore people in India, and he should think of their welfare,” said Mann mockingly.

Earlier the Ministry of External Affairs without taking name criticised the remarks made by CM Bhagwant Mann. “We have seen some comments made by a high state authority about India’s relations with friendly countries from the Global South. These remarks are irresponsible and regrettable and do not behove the state authority” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

While addressing the [ublicity around government's ads ridiculed, “Ads coming that Modi has stopped a war between two nations. Then why can’t the PM resolve issues between Punjab and Haryana?”
