Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led NDA government, claiming that US President Donald Trump was mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that the PM had failed to issue a strong rebuttal, reported PTI.
Addressing a press conference, Thackeray accused Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of acting more like propaganda ministers for the BJP, at a time when the country required decisive leadership to navigate serious challenges.
"Trump is mocking India and Narendra Modi. We are unable to respond to him, let alone seek answers from him. This government has failed on the foreign policy front, reported PTI.
