A political row erupted following remarks made during the Congress party's Convention in the national capital. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy, demonstrating a gesture of hugging another party leader to critique the Prime Minister's style of international diplomacy. During the interaction, another leader made a controversial remark asking if the gesture was mistaken for a foreign figure, drawing laughter from the audience and sparking sharp reactions.
During a televised debate, a Congress spokesperson defended the actions, arguing that the gesture was not sexist and accusing the Prime Minister of frequently using physical gestures with foreign dignitaries. In response, a BJP spokesperson condemned the incident, calling the comments despicable and unbecoming of mature politicians. The BJP spokesperson highlighted major foreign policy achievements, including various Free Trade Agreements and increased Foreign Direct Investment inflows over recent years, asserting that the opposition failed to understand diplomatic achievements.
