'PM who travelled the most on taxpayers' money': TMC MP Mahua Moitra slams Modi's 5-nation tour

NEW DELHI: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a five-nation tour, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday called him a "globetrotting" PM and asked why diplomatic efforts of the government were "unable" to isolate Pakistan at the global stage.

In a video statement, Moitra said Modi is "probably the one Prime Minister who's travelled the most on taxpayers' money, apparently cementing India in the global world order and making sure that we are in prime position".

"A few questions, how is it that after all your diplomatic outreach and after all of India's efforts, that today the leader of the free world is openly professing love for what is known as a terror hub, is having meals with its army chief. And worst of all, India and Pakistan have been hyphenated together, something that was unthinkable even 10 years ago," Moitra said.
