Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also alleged that foreign policy has been reduced to photo-ops and a chest-thumping exercise and is being used to secure contracts for a businessman.
The Congress today hit out at External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, calling him a "failed" minister and alleging that his remarks on the China issue have "demeaned" the valour of India's armed forces.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also alleged that foreign policy has been reduced to photo-ops and a chest-thumping exercise and is being used to secure contracts for a businessman.
She claimed that the minister had said that "we are the smaller economy and China is the bigger economy and we cannot go and pick a fight with them".
"What exactly does he mean by saying this? Is he telling us that we are not capable of protecting our territorial sovereignty," she said.
