Congress president Rahul Gandhi again attacked Narendra Modi government’s foreign policy and said “new US visa rules is a huge setback for India”.

“New US visa Rules, huge setback for India. There are some things a hug can buy. For visas, you’re on your own,” tweeted Gandhi, attaching a Times of India story with a headline “Startup visas, work permits for spouses of H-1B visa holders to go”.

“Foreign policy by Narendra Modi, foreword by Donald Trump,” he added.

Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi has time and again launched tirades against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s international policies and mocked them by calling them ‘hugplomacy’.

In 2017, Gandhi in a sarcastic tweet had raised questions over Indian diplomacy after a Pakistani court allowed release of Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Sayeed from jail.

“Narendrabhai, baat nahi bani (this is not done). Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed”, Rahul Gandhi had tweeted.

Saeed was the mastermind of 2008 Mumbai attacks that left 166 people dead. Ten terrorists, including Ajmal Kasab, had gone on a killing spree in the financial capital after reaching the city from Karachi by sea.

Congress had also posted a video hashtag “Hugplomacy” on its official Twitter handle that seemingly captured a few “awkward” moments in PM Modi meeting different world leaders including US President Donald Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and also Netanyahu, among others.
