New Delhi: Indian analyst Ashok Swain has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent engagement with Iran, contrasting it with Modi’s earlier expressions of support for Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a social media post, Swain referred to Modi’s previous remarks during his visit to Israel, claiming that the Indian prime minister had expressed continued support for Israel and Netanyahu.
Swain then pointed to Modi’s recent interaction with Iran’s leadership, portraying the two positions as contradictory and questioning what he described as a double standard in India’s foreign policy.
The comments come amid shifting diplomatic dynamics in the Middle East, where India maintains relations with both Israel and Iran while seeking to protect its broader strategic and economic interests.
Swain’s remarks represent his own political analysis and criticism; they do not necessarily reflect the official position of the Indian government.
